I have the same Problem here. My system: Intrepid, Samsung ML-1410 Laserprinter, Buffalo LinkStation as Samba-Server

When I delete all my printers (I have only this one) in system-config-printer 1.0.5 and add one like this:

# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.3.9
# Written by cupsd on 2008-12-07 12:13
<DefaultPrinter GDI-Printer>
AuthInfoRequired username,password
Info
Location
DeviceURI smb://192.168.0.3/lp
State Idle
StateTime 1228648383
Accepting Yes
Shared Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
OpPolicy default
ErrorPolicy retry-job
</Printer>

then everything works.
But when I add a second printer with same DeviceURI but with the Samsung-ML-1410-gdi.ppd instead of Default GDI, both (yes, also the Default GDI) give me the "Can't promt...." error and do not print.

Then I delete the second one (Samsung-ML-1410-gdi.ppd) and the first (Default GDI) still says "Can't promt..."

So I do not understand this problem, but maybe someone does and can fix it...

I attached my printers.conf with working (0) and not working (1) Default-GDI printer.
