Can't browse samba network after upgrade 14.10 to install printer

  • 772

With 14.04 I installed a network printer, hosted on a different windows PC. Everything worked fine, but after upgrading to 14.10 I get the error that I can't print. When trying to open the properties of said printer it said

There was a problem connecting to the CUPS server

So I wanted to reinstall the printer, and what I did before was

  1. Click Windows Printer via SAMBA
  2. Click "Browse..." to browse the samba network for the printer
  3. Select the printer

Now in 14.10 I get stuck at the second step as the "Browse..." button is disabled. How do I enable it again?

  1. By filling in the name or IP address of the Windows machine? ;-)
