Bug Description
Ubuntu version: Natty Narval
Package used: Samba/CIFS
What i expected to happen: Succeding printing from Ubuntu, onto a printer shared from a Windows 7 host.
What happened instead: no document where printed
SOLUTION: the printername (as in the shared printername on the windows 7 host), has to be set to NOT using spaces (sounds all to common ?!). By now, shouldn't this have been addressed ?

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to file a bug report!
This sounds like a fairly annoying problem and one that can probably be fixed. Marking Importance as Medium, as the work around is not obvious. Need a user with a windows 7 machine to confirm.
