Reconnecting with SMB1 for workgroup listing.

Failed to connect with SMB1 -- no workgroup available

it is showing an error as showing in bold letter.

even if are checking the syslog then it will be like,

Jul 26 10:01:03 localhost dbus-daemon[712]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.hostname1'

Solution:

First: Ubuntu does not install a smb.conf in 18.04 so I suggest you install the samba client package:

Code:

sudo apt install smbclient

Second: Then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and right unser the workgroup = WORKGROUP line add this line to change the default:

Code:

client max protocol = NT1

Third: Install samba packages.

Code:

apt-get install samba

and reboot.... Yes reboot..
fourth: Install CUPS:

Code:

apt-get install cups; apt-get install cups-bsd 

fifth: Install python3-smbc:

Code:

apt-get install python3-smbc

 Now try to find network printer from system-config-printer 

it works !!!
