I was successful with this workaround. Hopefully it will work for others
and it will be something even a newbie can do without having to figure
out what their "Windows IP" is. So until there is a fix, ....

Click Main Menu>System>Administration>Printing
Click New>Network Printer>Windows Printer via SAMBA
Hit the "Browse" button. "SMB Browser" box pops up. Note the names under the headings labeled Share and Comment. (So in my case, under "Share" was MSHOME and under "Comment" was DESKTOP1.)
Cancel out of the "SMB Browser" window. Click in the entry box beside smb:// and enter those name in this form: ShareName/CommentName/
Click "Browse" again. This time the list should be populated in the "SMB Browser" popup box (after a short wait) with the names of your shared printers. Choose the one you want and proceed with the installation.
