This problem is still present when trying to add a printer from a Karmic
Samba/CUPS print server when using any Windows 64bit client. i.e. Tested
on Windows XP 64bit and Windows 7 64bit.

32bit versions of Windows XP on the other hand can add and print to the
printer just fine.

Just like in the initial bug description, the printer is a RAW CUPS device with 
Samba configured to use the client driver.
* The CUPS-native drivers cannot be used as specific features of the Windows 
print driver is required.


The interim workaround has been to use:
net use lpt2 \\server\printer
And then setup the printer as a local printer on LPT2 with the native Windows 
driver.

This has been successful with both Windows XP 64bit and Windows 7 64bit.
Still it would be nice to be able to setup the printer the standard way...
