Printing failed - Unable to connect to CIFS host

I cannot verify the connection from my linux client to a Windows network printer using Samba (and I can therefore not print, with the error displayed being the one above in the subject). I've checked the following:
- part of groups lp and sys
- services cupsd, smbd and nmbd are loaded, active and running
- cups.path, cups.service and cups.socket loaded active and running
- samba CUPS back-end is enabled
- authentication is correct
What else could I try?
Thanks,

If you use systemd, remove yourself at least from the lp group.
Look in the logs. If there's not enough info, enable debugging for cups and then look again. (Don't leave it enabled permanently as it will log a LOT of information and error_log etc. will grow extremely rapidly but it is useful for troubleshooting.

IP Printing Issue -- Unable to connect and print

I'm trying to print to a network printer that's connected by cable to my wireless router using IPP. The error message reads "Unable to connect to IPP host." The IP address I used for the printer was obtained from the printer test page. I also specified "generic postscipt printer" in the printer setup utility window. My printer and network info as follows:
Printer -- HP LaserJet 4MV
Router -- Linksys Wireless G
Computer -- Powerbook G4, OSX.4
I've reset the printers in the Printer Utility to use the latest version driver for the HP. I can browse using my PBk so my wireless connection is working (in fact the PBk is in the same room as the router). Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I don't have a manual for the printer and I'm not aware of a print server being included in the hardware. The printer is simply a HP LaserJet 4MV which has a I/O card installed with local talk, 10Base-T, parellel, and BNC connections. I'm using the 10Base-T connection to my router.
On the test page printout, it lists several things one of which is "Server Name" but it's blank with no entry. Under the heading "Mode" the entry reads "Queue Server." Don't know if any of this is relevant.

I am unable to connect to IPP host. Would someone tell me the steps to get this to happen for me?

I am unable to connect to IPP host, and therefore cannot print

fyi:
IPP (Internet printing protocol)
IPP is a relatively new (1999) protocol based on the HTTP protocol. With IPP, more job-related data is transmitted than in the other protocols. CUPS uses IPP for internal data transmission. This is the preferred protocol for a forwarding queue between two CUPS servers. The name of the print queue is necessary to configure IPP correctly.
The port number for IPP is 631.

Unable to connect to local host

Hi,
I have 64 bit operating system and got installed SQL Server Management Studio of 64 bit and the problem I am facing is unable to connect to local host, I have database mdf/ldf files in my local system and unable to connect to local system
tried localname/SQLEXPRESS and it did not work.

SQL Server Management Studio is not enough, you also need to install SQL Server instance.

Printer suddenly unable to connect to network (invalid password)

I've had this printer for half a year and haven't had any issues with network connection till recently. For some reason my printer will no longer connect to our network. I've typed in the correct password multiple times but it always comes up with an invalid WPA passphrase.
My laptop and other devices have no problems connecting to the internet. The printer recognizes the wireless network but says the passphrase is "invalid". I printed the diagnostic and it says, "The WPA security passphrase configured on your HP printer does not match your wireless router setting". The solution they gave was "Run the wirless Setup Wizard to re-enter your wireless network WPA security passphrase."
The solution does not help.
Some of the results from the printed diagnostic test:
Connectivity> connected = Not Run
Disconnect count total= 70
Network> Network SSID Found= PASS
Settings> Printer settings consistent with wireless router settings, no filtering, channel = Not Run / Security = FAIL
Current Configuration> Authentication Type = WPA- PSK / Encryption= Automatic (AES or TKIP)
We are running on a 802.11 network, channel 11 (I don't really know what this means..but maybe it's helpful information?)
If anyone has some insights that would be greatly appreciated!!

My printer mysteriously started working again as well. Nothing has changed on my equipment. What gives?
As for the "Great" support from HP with the Static IP address, I don't see any replies from HP on this thread helping us out.

Netlet fails: "Unable to connect to Gateway: default:443"

i have installed the portal 3.0 sp4, MAP and HP for sp4.
when using netlet, it tells me: "Unable to connect to Gateway: default:443"
the platform.conf file contains the right gateway name.
why does the netlet uses default:443 instead of the right gateway name and port?
thnx, thomas

after reinstalling the server and the gateway, i face the same problem again, but i found out, that the error only occurs when the anonymous desktop is enabled.
logging in using ldap authentication, everything works; but logging in, using the anonymous desktop, and then loging in at the login-chanel using ldap-authentication, the error occurs, when using Netlet.
looking at the install logs, i found out that the sp4 wasn't able to update the "iwtGateway-netletproxy-port" and the "iwtNaming-sessionURL" attributes;
could one of this be respobsible for the failure ?
has anyone an idea, how to solve the problem ?
thnx, thomas

Windows 10 failing unable to connect to network

Ive just downloaded windows 10 on my hp pavillions laptop a 15-p264na and it seems like am unable to connect to the network every time i go on edge or firefox I get timed out when I check the drivers it says they are up to date , but how can it check if the drivers are suitable for windows 10 if even I cant get on via edge or firefox It seems via these forums that a lot of users have reverted to windows 8.1 then upgraded again ,My computer says its connected to my router but when i put it through a system check it says theres no connection as if the drivers not suitable for 10 , I am so dissappointed Ive wasted many hours trying to resolve this issue its like the laptop is useless unable to communicate with the outside world so it looks like I am going to have to restore windows 8.1 so any advice welcome

My WiFi and my Ethernet drivers worked on the first boot into Windows 10, then I was prompted to restart again. After that restart I was never able to get on the network again, and in Device Manager it says that both devices were unable to start and had no driver. My only fix was to revert back to Windows 7 then upgrade again. Its been fine since that.

Officejet 7310 Print Spooler Unable to connect to your Printer

Hello, this problem cropped up last week after I applied a series of Windows XP automatic updates. I've seen a number of old posts on this problem, along with the series of solutions on the HP site, but none of worked reliably -- read on for more details. Wondering if anyone else encountered this problem recently and has a solution that has lasted?
As background, the 7310 is connected via ethernet wire to a router. I run two XP machines and am running into the "print spooler" problem on each. I also run a Win7 machine, and can print fine from that PC (I know, so upgrade to Win7 -- maybe this winter!!). More details on what I've tried, if it helps:
To try and fix the XP machines, I have:
- Cleared the print queue and rebooted.
- Verified that the printer is using the correct port
- Verified that my XP machines can communicate with the printer by scanning a document
- Completely uninstalled and reinstalled the 7310 complete driver set
At this point I was still unable to print from the XP machines. I then did the following:
- Checked the port settings; tried changing to the "print directly to the printer" vs spooling
- Also noticed that windows wanted to download updates to the Microsoft .NET framework (because the HP driver installs an old version), so I dowloaded and applied all of those updates.
After this, I WAS able to print. I then changed the port setting back to spooling, and was still able to print. I then rebooted, and again ran into the spooler problem.

Hi colleenmercy,
On the network menu, select Restore Network Defaults. This will clear the current network settings and allow you to reconnect the printer to the network. You can use the wireless setup wizard or reinstall the HP software to reconnect.

Hi,
i think this has to do with the "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service".
If you don't need the service than try to stop it:
Start Central Administration > Operations > Services and stop the service.
or
If you need it the service, try this:
Start Central Administration > Operations > Service Account
Change the service account to "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service" And Select a "Network Services" Click Save
Hope this helps!

Unable to connect to MySQL database

Hello,
I have written a DatabaseManager class that controls access to a locally stored database, implemented in mysql. In theory, client request should be passed to the DatabaseManager through RMI, but I cannot even create a connection to the database yet!
Here's my connect statement:
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/media", "mysql", "mysql");When this statement is executed, the following exception is produced:
java.sql.SQLException: Unable to connect to any hosts due to exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission file.encoding read)Can somebody explain to me how I successfully create a connection to the database? I would be extremely grateful. Also, could somebody explain how I could connect to the database from a remote machine using the following connect statement:
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://server:3306/media", "mysql", "mysql");I have a feeling I need to grant a certain PropertyPermission in my policy file, but I'm unsure of what values I should be using.
Thank you in advance.
Pete

Thank you for the prompt reply.
In answer to you question: No, it is not an applet. The DatabaseManager is a class that implements a Remote interface, I have it running on the same machine as the mysql database (the server). I then have a small GUI that runs on a client machine which is used to make RMI calls to the DatabaseManager across the network in order to query the database.
When the DatabaseManager object is spawned on the server, it tries to connect to the database to be ready for client queries. This is when it produces the exception mentioned in the original post.
What confuses me is that in my original implementation, the DatabaseManager object was run on the client and the mysql JDBC had no difficulty in connecting to the database across the network. Could the security manager have something to do with it? I am using the RMISecurityManager in conjunction with the java.policy file from the Java RMI tutorial on the Sun website.
