This problem is still present when trying to add a printer from a Karmic Samba/CUPS print server when using any Windows 64bit client. i.e. Tested on Windows XP 64bit and Windows 7 64bit.
32bit versions of Windows XP on the other hand can add and print to the printer just fine.
Just like in the initial bug description, the printer is a RAW CUPS device with Samba configured to use the client driver.
* The CUPS-native drivers cannot be used as specific features of the Windows print driver is required.
The interim workaround has been to use:
net use lpt2 \\server\printer
And then setup the printer as a local printer on LPT2 with the native Windows driver.
This has been successful with both Windows XP 64bit and Windows 7 64bit.
Still it would be nice to be able to setup the printer the standard way...
