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

[James Brown]

I am rather new to Ubuntu.  Is it possible to uninstall this version of
SAMBA  and revert back to an earlier version  (Which worked fine) until
this bug is fixed?  I did the same thing, upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04
and now I cannot use my Linux shared printers on my network.  (PCs are
using both Vista and XP OS).  My configuration and applications are
basicly what came with the original Ubuntu install download.

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.
