F11: Why can't CUPS add a SAMBA printer any more?

[Mary Ellen Foster]

At my office, the officially-supported method of letting self-managed
machines print to the department printers is to use Samba to connect.
As of Fedora 11, I can't find any method (either using
sys-config-printer or the interface at localhost:631) to add a Samba
networked printer, and I can't see any documentation anywhere that
would imply that something has been removed. What's up?

Thanks for any help,

First make sure that the samba Port are open
In Gnome System --> Administration --> Printing
<Click> New -->  Select Windows Printer via Samba

Turns out I needed "samba-client" installed and now it works. Thanks
for pointing me in the right direction!
