In case you are accessing a shared USB printer on a Windows machine I am sharing another workaround:

Spin up the built in LPD print server via Windows additional features and map the printer on Ubuntu through lpd:// instead of smb://

By the way the
"This bug was fixed in the package system-config-printer - 1.5.12-0ubuntu1"
did not fix the issue.
I am currently on 1.5.12-0ubuntu1.1 and the bug is still there.
