Fix as described in askubuntu #7 worked for me. I copy it here for
reference with some adaptions, credits go to RobDavenport.
== Set up printer shared on a sambe network with authentication ==
Choose Add new printer in Printing, click open 'Network Printers',
select 'Windows Printer via SAMBA'
Click 'Browse' to browse for printer (it prompts for authentication
to access Windows server with printer)
or enter 'smb://sambadomain/servername/printername' e.g.
smb://uclv/printers.mycompany.at/a4-e105
Select 'Set authentication details now'
Enter details as 'domain\username' and password
(if you click 'verify' now it will say printer is not accessible, but click
Forward anyway.)
Select driver
Print test page
Just to be clear: I always could print from Ubuntu 11.10, but not from 12.04
Desktop to printers served by a Windows server.
If I rename a printer, I get again the authentication error. The above set up
worked.

Nach dem Upgrade auf Precise ist ein Zugriff über Samba auf die Cups-Printer
nicht mehr möglich (siehe System unten). Ein Zugriff auf Verzeichnisfreigaben
funktioniert problemlos. Die Konfigurationsdatei smb.conf ist gesichert worden
und korrekt.
Der Drucker ist im Netz problemlos auffindbar, jedoch schlägt eine Verbindung
fehl.
