I appreciate your help. The link did not help me resolve the problem. There seems to be some sort of trust relationship problem that is not easily resolved. I can easily talk to the printer utilizing the following: echo -en "\rHello\r\f" | smbclient "//hostname/HP" "" -c 'print -' -N -U "mbp" && echo || echo "error" So there is a lot working, but the net step seems to elude me.
