I have set up my printer to print from Windows XP to Ubuntu 12.04. The printer is connected to the computer with Windows XP, and is being shared across my home network. The computer with Ubuntu 12.04 is connecting using samba. When I try to print it fails to connect to the printer. I get the error:

Connection Failed: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

Probably you didn't set you auth user and password very well. I also had that problem and solution was to enter syntax: username@domain instead of domain\username.

Also you can check on this page, there is solution for allmost all printer problems:http://linuxibos.blogspot.com/2012/05/seprinters-linux.html Here is link how to map drive , but you can use that concept for printers: http://linuxibos.blogspot.com/2012/05/map-network-drive-in-linux.html
