           Summary: Installing a SMB printer needs a workaround
           Product: kdeprint
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-print-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: smarter3 gmail com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Currently, if you want to use a SMB printer you need to do the following:
- choose anonymous login
- Scan the network
- click the network group of your computer to see your computer's name
- go back
- choose guest login
- click on the name of your computer
- click on your printer's name

I've made a patch to fix that by looking at what system-config-printer(the fedora/gnome printer tool) did. This patch has already been accepted in Ubuntu and will be part of Ubuntu 8.04
