> you have a "detect lan printers" options with hoary, does that fix this issue?

With this option you can detect and use LAN printers with zero configuration,
you do not even need to invoke gnome-cups-add for that (it just happens).
However, that applies only to servers that support the Internet Printing
Protocol, not printers that are exported over samba (IPP is much better anyway,
but sometimes you might not have a choice).

So I dedicate this bug report to detecting SMB printers. Detecting local
printers is already covered in bug #6224.
