I have a network printer and my machine recently stopped being able to print, other machines can print fine. Besides having to use root to change its settings, when I try to change its settings I get the following error:



CUPS "client-error-not-possible".



Many forum threads suggest installing smbclient to solve the issue, but I already have it installed.

Installing samba, smbclient and running



sudo sed -i '/^[global]/aclient max protocol = SMB3' /etc/samba/smb.conf



did the trick. Not sure if the last part is necessary though.

    On Linux Mint 19. Just installing "samba" and "smbclient" was enough for me: I ran "sudo apt install samba" and "sudo apt install smbclient". I then ran also the printer configuration with sudo, i.e. "sudo system-config-printer", but I don't know if that (running it with sudo) was really necessary.
