Comment 1 for bug 109821

Ok, I found a hack to make this work.... http://www.mepis.org/node/3458

Basically, you use the add new printer wizard, you click "Anonymous", scan for hosts, and click on workgroup to expose host machines. Then, you click back, and change to "guest" authentication, and click next again. Without re-scanning, click on the host machine you found before, and this time it will show a list of shared printers.

This makes me think that all the more so this bug should be fixed, because the basic functionality is there, and it can't be too difficult. It's definitely a KDE problem and not a Windows XP problem.
