Completed with Error (018-505): SMB-DOS protocol error 1-005
I am setting up and office for some clients. They have a new Xerox WorkCenter 7328 and we have it setup for network scanning. I installed and setup a Samba server using Ubuntu Server 7.10. This involved setting up a repository and shares and so on. I had issues at first but mostly involving permissions. Once I got that setup correctly it all worked great. But then we decided to get a new hard drive (the original was an old 40gig and we got a new 320gig HD). I thought I'd be able to image it over but then ran into the fact that the ext3 file system doesn't allow you to resize the partition. So I decided to just redo it all on the new HD. But now it won't successfully scan to the server. I keep getting "Completed with Error (018-505): SMB-DOS protocol error 1-005". I double and triple checked the user name and password and they are correct. I've messed with permissions but this seems to be different than the problem I was having the first time. I put the old HD back in and it works fine. So I either need to be able to figure out how to get the new setup working or how to image the old drive to the new one and be able to utilize the free space that the 320GB gives over the old 40GB. Please let me know if you have any idea. Thanks, Eric.
did you double check the permissions? make sure you create the folder first and check and see if it matches the folder and path of you Xerox machine. set the permission to all users by chmod -R 777 to see if works. if it does that means you have permission problems. then you have to check the permissions on the old HD and make the same on the new one. However leaving the permission to all users is a security risk. but it is just for the troubleshooting peruse.

I think you're probably right about the permissions being the issue. I'll give it a try tomorrow and see if that doesn't take care of it. I'm still a little weak in my command line skills with Linux. Is the that the exact command... chmod -R 777? or do I need to add the actual user name?
yeah let me know if it works. and of course you have to put the directory name in front of it. ie chmod -R 777 myDir. the -R sets the same permissionto all the subdirectories. look at the link below for a little toturial on linux permission. it's not gonna take too long to go over it though.

I tried changing the permissions to 777 in the exact way explained with no change in result. Any other suggestions? Eric.

What does that even mean? You added a Samba password to the printer itself?? Somewhere else? Why are people so undescriptive with solutions.
