So what do I need to configure on F14 to make printer configuration via samba work right?
There seems to be some kind of issue with authenticating using libsmbclient, the SMB library that system-config-printer uses: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=767673
On another note there is one thing I find really annoying regarding adding a printer, and that's the number of times I'm asked for the root password. I'm asked the root password first when I select add printer. After providing it (correctly) I am asked it again to get privileges to access network printers. I am asked the root password a third time when I go to apply the printer configuration. After I enter the password I am again prompted for the root password to get additional privileges. So in total I was asked for the root password 4 times - this seems excessive.
This is configurable: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Printing/ConfigurationTool#PolicyKit_configur...
and in fact I have asked for the default to be changed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596711
