hp scanner card reader

finally got the sd card reader on a networked hp scanner/printer mounted on my ubuntu machine. this allows me to scan to the card and then access it remotely.
here's the relevant line to put into fstab:
//hp.scanner.ip/memory_card /media/scanner cifs users,uid=localusername,gid=localgroup,user=guest,password=hp 0 0
previously, i was getting mysterious samba/cifs errors in dmesg. now that i'm using guest and hp as the username and password (and maybe thanks to a card reformat) it's magically working.
