How can Puppy 4 use networked HP PSC 1315xi Printer?

It now looks like the print job made it from Puppy to Windows. Since the printer won't complete the job, my first instinct would be that the driver is wrong. But I believe that you tested it as a local printer and it worked. I'm stumped again.

By the way - did using "guest" actually make a difference?

Have you rebooted the printer recently?

Well, every time I use smbclient -NL PC_NAME it gives the error:

Connection to PC_NAME failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)

But when I open up Pnethood, and leave it open, I am able to use smbclient -NL PC_NAME and it works. So I suppose opening up Pnethood helped it somehow? Yes I've rebooted the printer multiple times and the Windows host as well.

PC_NAME should be the actual name of the particular Windows machine to which you are connecting.

Yes of course I know hahaha! The PC_NAME is SINISTER. I'm not that noobish. =P

So you guys think it's a driver problem because I installed the hpijs-2.8.2.pet from the PETget package manager, and the driver I'm using is the HP PSC 1310 driver. It said it should work for 1315xi.
