This is what I did a few days ago to add a my new HP Printer to 8.04:

1. Choose System - Administration - Printing - New Printer
2. Choose Windows Printer via Samba
3. Inserted the details of the network printer and click Forward.  (in 
my case  smb://DOMAIN/PC-NAME/PRINTER-NAME for some reason it always 
seems to need to be capitals)
4. Selected the printer model and then clicked Apply.

I've never actually tried using the browse function. Just got into the 
habit of entering the information for the printers network location.
