Cups Troubles

[Tod Thomas <tod@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to print from FC4 client to WinXP workstation with a share 
defined to an Epson Stylus Photo RX600 printer.  I am trying to connect 
with a user account defined on the XP box.
In the CUPs web GUI when it comes time to configure the Device URI I'm 
specifying smb://user:password/ipaddress/sharename.  This should work, 
in fact I have validated the connectivity to the XP box with smbclient. 
 The problem is I have special characters in the password, particularly 
the '@' symbol.  I have a feeling that is throwing CUPs off.  I tried 
making the change directly to printers.conf but that didn't make a 
difference.
Can anybody provide a sample, maybe I am typing it wrong in the 
printers.conf file?  Any hints would be appreciated.  I'm using cups 
v1.1.23 which came with my initial FC4 installation.

Thanks - Tod
