Where's the other printing system?

[Botond Kardos]

    Do you use GNOME? If so, better try KDE. I don't know the exact
reasons, but system-config-printer, the printer setup GUI under GNOME
fails to set up an SMB connection. While KDE control center works for
me, I even have the LPR/LPRng option (but didn't try it yet).
    Please, let us know if you have success with any of the advices
posted here.
