Exists for me on 12.04. Connecting to a Laserprinter on a windows
network, when I connect directly.
I was able to solve this problem, like Matt Jones (#16) did, by using
the full path (with workgroup). Here were the steps I took (12.04):
1. Open "Printing" via dash
2. Click "Add +"
3. Select "network printer"
4. Select "Windows Printer via Samba" (last option in list)
5. Click "Browse"
6. Choose your domain / workgroup from the list (it took me ~30s for the list
to populate)
7. Locate the print server from your domain, and select it -- this may require
you to authenticate via keyring
8. Select your printer
9. Choose "Set Authentication details now"
10. for "username" you may need to do the domain name first
("DOMAIN\username"), but try it without first. Clicking "Verify..." will not
successfully verify this, but it will still work.
11. Proceed with printer installation (driver and whatnot)
Print a page from an app or print a test page -- it should do it without
requiring authentication.
