system-config-printer-gnome don't detect a hp-4500 all-in-one series printer plugged on a NAS (usb) shared with samba.

[ramon]

In 12.04 and 12.10 the samba-printer discovery option works very well... Now in 13.04 just don't discover the printer, the app don't give me options to choose where the printer is plugged.

Are you using system-config-printer (window looks the same as in 12.04 and 12.10) or are you using the new printer setup tool of GNOME (integrated in Control Center)? If you use the new tool, try running

system-config-printer

in a terminal window (you should get the old window). Are you able to set up the printer now?

If you have the problem using the old tool, what appears in the printer setup window which pops up right after clicking the add-printer button? Are there any other printers listed? Can you post a screen shot?

If you connect your printer directly to the USB of your computer, is it detected by the new tool? Is it detected by the old system-config-printer?

Now is fine thanks, I was using the new one. The old one is working well,
as always...

system-config-printer by itself works, but the new GNOME tool does not, perhaps it is the following bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695286

Moving to gnome-control-center ...
