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?
