The title tells you all, except that it's about sharing printers.   How do I connect to a shared printer on the network through CUPS or terminal?

I have a folder I want to share with a couple windows users on the network. I am using ubuntu 10.4 When I right click a folder I go to &quot;Sharing Options&quot; There are 3 check boxes. If I check the first 2 which are &quot;share this folder&quot; and &quot;Allow others to create and delete files in this folder&quot; I can now see this folder on the network from my pc. I cannot access it though, it asks for a username and password (I never set one up so I don't even know what credentials it wants.) I don't want to have to log in, I just want to be able to go right in. So If I check the third box, which is &quot;guest access&quot; I can now access the folder from my pc. But so can everyone else on the network. I just want myself and a couple other pc users on the network to be able to access it. I do not see anyplace where I can specify what users on the network have permission to access it? How do I do that?  update When I entered my user name and password for the linux machine, it gave me this error message:  \LINUX-SERVER\saga_repo is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.  I noticed that when type in my username it defaults to @MY-DOMAIN so I also tried myuser@linux-server but still got the same message. Also the domain administrator (who knows nothing about linux) told me that the linux machine is not a part of the domain (even though I can see it when I go to My Network Places from my windows machine). I don't know if that means anything. I also tried created a new user on ubuntu to try to log in with and got the same message. I tried to log in with my user and the new user from a workers machine and I couldn't get in from there either but I just got an &quot;access denied&quot; dialog everytime on his machine. Is there possibly another step I am missing?

I have Ubuntu 14.04. I was using a HP Laserjet 6L which worked after strugling with it for several days. I now have HP LaserjetP1102w and I just cannot get it to print.  When I installed it the computer recognised it. I went to properties and tried to print test page but nothing happened. I rebooted computer but still nothing.  I looked at some other answers regarding similar problems but could not understand a lot of it.

Okay, I'm struggling a bit here. I'm not all that good with Terminal and sorting out network issues using it but I've managed to scrape by so far.  Without using Internet Sharing (because controlling that via Terminal as per  doesn't actually seem to work in Yosemite) how can I share my internet connection from one interface (lets say en0) to another (again, lets say en1)?  I kind of understand that Internet Sharing creates a bridge (usually called bridge100) and then uses bootpd (I think) to establish a DHCP server and NAT to route all traffic from 192.168.2.xxx (which is the bridged network) through to your primary network.  How can I get the same result without using the Sharing pref pane?

I have problem (seems to be trivia) about Ubuntu Terminal. Once my network connection slow down then it (sometimes but very rare to happened) showed some information like this.     I shocked because I have been got 2,919 PB/s. Sorry my mouse block some part of letter 'P' (I actually rush to print screen) but I believe you can recognize it.    EDIT    based on answer given to me, and I got similar info then, I'd like to add more clearly new image after.    Can someone explain it to me?  Best Regards!

User story follows, just to illustrate better how this is an Ubuntu question ;-)  I, as an Ubuntu user (on 20.04.2), would like to connect to my Windows 10 machine via a LAN cable (preferably via the SMB protocol) so that I can copy/move over downloaded files and documents that I have authored there because at the end of the day I want my Ubuntu machine to be the canonical (ha!) home for my documents.  I know this is not a Windows Q/A site, so feel free to not go into details (if you don't want to) about the steps that I need to carry out on the Windows machine, but please, could you at least give a list of steps about the Samba setup as keywords that I can follow and google one by one? What I need: Unfortunately it seems I can't just pull over an entire directory and be done with it. Instead, I would like to use a graphical file manager (Nautilus) to &quot;merge&quot; the contents of some select remote directories into their corresponding local ones, and manually resolve any conflicts should they arise. What I have tried: I have tried to enable NFS on Windows (because I already have some NFS experience), but have found out that Windows 10 still has support for only NFS 3, and therefore transferable filenames are limited to only ASCII characters; so that's not good. That's why I'm aiming for Samba.

I am trying to install my Canon MP280 printer to my recently upgraded Ubuntu focal 20.04.  This printer worked out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 18.04 on same hardware (HP Folio 1040), so I am surprised to find it does not work quite so well.  I've tried two paths:   system-config-printer:  This leads me to either install a generic text-only driver, or a list of non-matching Canon printers.  Either way I cannot actually print anything.  install proprietary driver as described .  This ultimately fails due to a dependency to an arcane version of  whereas libtiff5 is the only available on 20.04.   Did Ubuntu leave my printer behind?

I and my brother have User Accounts on this machine. I want to share the Documents directory with him.  Is there a STRAIGHTFORWARD way to do it?  I am not a power user so I am looking for a way to do this using nautilus, rather than a script or a way that requires creating symlinks.  I can download an application if i have to.  Last time I wanted to do this I just copied the contents to /home for both of us to use.  Something I can do in System Settings would be appreciated

I am trying to get an Epson WF-2760 scanner that is network-connected working. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.2 64-bit and the printer works a treat. I have installed the Epson drivers from their site, including the plugins. I have edited /etc/sane.d/dll.conf to enable epson, epson2, and epsonds. I have edited each of the respective .conf files to include the network address of the device (IPV4: 192.168.128.11).   The scanner is not detected in any software that I have tried (including Image Scan and Simple Scan).  Any help is appreciated!

Using 12.04 my printer a canon ip2600 will not print.   SystemSettings/printers shows it as installed, connected to local host, enabled, accepting jobs, shared and allowing printing for everyone. Yet it does not print.   I have tried to remove it but get a request for user name and password which I enter (I only have one password) but the password is listed as incorrect.   I need a sudo command which I can use to delete the printer so I can attempt to re-install it. As it is the printer is useless and I can not even uninstall it.

I am running 14.04 and have a HP Deskjet 2545 wireless printer which is supported by Ubuntu. I have run HpLIP, the latest version and installed the printer.  The printer is recognised by Ubuntu, printer and network, but LibreOffice do not see the printer. Only a Generic printer.  I don't know what to do anymore and would like to get some good advice
