[Bug 967410] Re: Windows clients cannot connect to shared printers

Hi Tony

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

If possible, please could you run the following command on the server
you are having trouble connecting to:

   sudo apport-collect 967410

If this is not possible then the following log files would be helpful:

  /var/log/samba/log.*

Marking 'Incomplete' pending your response and 'High' until we get more
information on what is causing this issue.

Title:
  Windows clients cannot connect to shared printers

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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". 

  This is a deal breaker for me.
