HP Color LaserJet MFP M277dw
Linux

Hi,

I was hoping someone might be able to give me some pointers.  Not sure why this odd issue is happening but it is and it has me kind of baffled.  So here's the deal:  I have an M277dw printer hooked up to my network.  On my network I have a Debian 10 Buster powered storage server set up with a samba share, we'll call it "personal".  in ./personal there are a number of sub directories that represent various users.  Lets say, UserA and UserB.  So I configure the printer to scan to the share \\server\Personal\UserA with the account example.com\UserA (a domain account).  This all works perfectly.  When I log in to the box and check the logs I can see the user authenticates as UserA and the test checks out and everything is great.  The trouble arises when I try the same trick with UserB.  For some reason when I create the same share with near identical setting for UserB, it doesn't work.  When I check the logs on my server I get "pam_unix(samba:session): session closed for user nobody".   For the life of me I can't figure out why the printer is trying to authenticate as "nobody".  I know the second account works, it can mount the drive from other computers and everything else about it is perfectly fine.  I just can't figure out what is going on with that particular account.  I was curious if anyone else may have had an odd issue like this with samba shares, even from Windows servers?  I know my set up may come off as a bit more complex due to all the various components but at this point, I figured it was a shot in the dark.

Thanks in advanced for any help!
