Network Printer
I have am trying to connect to a network printer using Ubuntu 9.10 on a
Windows 7 PC using samba. The issue is when Samba finds the PC and I click on to the PC it asks me for an Authentication Password. The Windows 7 PC does not have a password. So I leave it black and OK and the Authentication fails.... Any thoughts about what can I do in my Ubuntu (9.10) or the Windows 7 PC to be able to pass the password? mac

Network Printer
Try this:
Open Network and Sharing Centre on the Win 7 PC. Click on change advanced sharing settings. Turn on file and printer sharing, and turn off password protected sharing. Hope this helps. John T.
