Cannot setup remote printers to Windows XP from Ubuntu 10.04

For me it looks like Samba, as the problem also occurs if one does not use system-config-printer.

Thanks for the bug, can you tell me which version you are running?

Thanks

Hi, It is fixed by the latest system_config_printers; you can now navigate to a server/network and expand windows XP clients.

Thanks.
James Usmar.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer

In pre-10.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu you could navigate to an Windows XP machine with a shared Printer and start using it.
In Ubuntu 10.04 if you navigate to a Windows XP machine you just get the print$ share with a load of files under it. It used to show you an icon of the available printers.

Also using the System|Admin|Printing CUPS thing you cannot "scan" the network and find a printer.

Something isn't working properly? I don't know - sorry.

Is it Samba or CUPS?
