I received 2 responses:

1.

smb://<windows workgroup>/<the windows ip adress>/<name of printer there>

For example:

smb://MAIN/192.168.179.105/Kyoceraprinter

2.
smb://domain/user:passwd@printerurl

Neither worked. Previosly I had a smb:// line that worked.
Are there any other ideas out there. I remember that the previos line requirede a user and passwd.
 but it seemed to me that it also needed a printer name.
