First off, does the guest account "samba" exist on your system?
Do you know if your samba was ./configured --with-pam? If so,
what's in your pam file for samba? Not sure about gentoo, but
in other distros you usually find it in /etc/pam.d/(service)
If there are pam_smbpasswd.so lines...
Is there anything in your /etc/samba/smbpasswd file, like:
root:0:lanman hash:nt hash:[flags]:lastchanged
A yes/no will suffice, don't post the hashes :)!
When was the file last updated? If you run smbpasswd to change
the root password, does the file get modified?
Otherwise, it's probably using your system root password. Is that
what you've been trying?
Have you run smbclient with increased debugging (-d 4 for example)
What happens when you do:
smbclient //127.0.0.1/HPDeskJet -U root -d 4
Good luck,
~ Daniel
