Two things to consider:
system-config-printer's "Windows Printer via Samba" under the hood
uses CUPS, too. No local Samba service is involved.
The tool should just do its job setting up the printer. Trying to set it
up differently without the same tool would be a completely different goal.
I've added a couple of suspicious log messages from CUPS to the ticket
about system-config-printer:

Perhaps they are related to major changes to the ghostscript package?
