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

[alfalfa]

Hi all,

I'm having trubles adding shared printer from Xp clients. 
I got 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".
I tried solution @ #21 but when typing enumprinters i get

enumprinters
        flags:[0x800000]
        name:[\\LOCALHOST\]
        description:[\\LOCALHOST\,,Hewlett-Packard_HP_LaserJet_P1005]
        comment:[Hewlett-Packard_HP_LaserJet_P1005]

as @ #28.

Why there is no printer name? How should i set it?

THX

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.
