New question #194091 on samba in Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/194091

I am trying to set up Ubuntu 12.04 to print to a windows shared printer. 

I have Samba set up properly and can see the remote box with the printer:

jrminter 1: smbclient -L //fortress -U jrminter
Enter jrminter's password: 
Domain=[FORTRESS] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        IPC$            IPC       Remote IPC
        print$          Disk      Printer Drivers  
        data            Disk      
        jrminter        Disk      
        HP-P2055dn      Printer   HP LaserJet P2050 Series PCL6
        ADMIN$          Disk      Remote Admin
        C$              Disk      Default share
Domain=[FORTRESS] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------

so it sees the shared printer (HP-P2055dn)...

When I start gnome-control-center to add the printer, it doses not see the 
network printer. I tried to search by address as

smb://fortress/HP-P2055dn  and click the "search by address" button and 
gnome-control-center just hangs.

What am I doing wrong?
