** Description changed: - Since installing 12.04 I can no longer connect my windows XP clients to my laser printers on the Ubuntu system using samba. - It works on 11.10 using the exact same smb.conf file. - I can see the printers from the windows clients, I can select it, I install the drivers locally from the windows pc. When I click next I get the message "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly or the specified printer has lost its connection to the sever". + SRU justification : + + It is currently impossible for a USB connected printer shared on Ubuntu + 12.04 to be added to a Windows XP / 7 using the "Discover printer" + functionality + + Impact : + + Users cannot use such printers shared by Ubuntu Precise + + Fix : + + Samba bug #8554 provides a fix for this issue. The fix is part of the + Quantal version of Samba (3.6.6) + + Test Case : See comment #75 for a detailed description of how to + reproduce the bug and confirm the fix + + Regression : None expected as the fix is already part of the version + used in Quantal + + Description of the problem : + + Since installing 12.04 I can no longer connect my windows XP clients to my laser printers on the Ubuntu system using samba. + It works on 11.10 using the exact same smb.conf file. + I can see the printers from the windows clients, I can select it, I install the drivers locally from the windows pc.

This is a deal breaker for me.
