Posible solución:

Comando a usar: rpcclient

Se tiene que establecer el nombre de la impresora

Teclear en la terminal del servidor el siguiente comando sin las comillas: 
“rpcclient localhost”

les pedirá la clave del usuario samba que administra las impresoras,

pueden verificar el nombre de la impresora con el comando, sin las
comillas “enumprinters 5”

Ejemplo si el nombre de la impresora compartida es PDF2

luego de este paso cambian el nombre de la impresora con el comando, sin las comillas 
“setprintername PDF2 PDF2”

ir a un maquina cliente, instalar la impresor.

Possible solution:

Command to use: rpcclient

You have to set the printer name

Type in the terminal server the following command without quotes:
"rpcclient localhost"

Asked the samba user's password that manages printers,

Can verify the name of the printer with the command, without the quotes
"enumprinters 5"

Example if the name of the shared printer is PDF2

After this step change the name of the printer with the command, without quotes
"setprintername PDF2 PDF2"

Go to a client machine, install the printer.

Title:
  Windows clients cannot connect to shared printers

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
