[Cialug] Puppy Linux printing issue

[Tom Sellers]

I have wondered about the authentication security as well but have not been able to find any place to enter security information when setting up the printer in puppy.  When I first connect to my samba file shares I am always prompted for a username and password but I get no prompt when sending a print job such as a test page or document.  
I have seen on line that others have seen something like this but no solutions.  One just said he prints to a PDF file and then moves the PDF file to a shared location and prints it from another machine.  That may be my only solution.  Round about but it does work.
Thanks!

two things that stand out to me - /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb failed and user=anonymous

do you need to authenticate to the printer share?  maybe that's set in mint and not in puppy?
