I can print a test page, but that's it. Anything else I try to print just hangs at "sending print data…".
I'm running OS X 10.7.2 (Lion). My printer is a Canon PIXMA MP210. I'm using the driver from Canon's website. It works when connected via USB. My connection URI is:
smb://printme:pleas3@192.168.0.3/GoFlex_Home
Anyone seen this before, and know how to fix?
According to this thread on macrumors, Lion - Printing to shared Windows 7 Printer, Apple has decided to remove in OS X Lion anything that allows you to print via a windows shared printer.
I had the same problem and this is what I did to fix it:
Go to http://localhost:631/
If you get the "Web Interface is Disabled" message, run cupsctl WebInterface=yes in Terminal.
Choose the Administration tab.
Click Add Printer.
If you are required to login, use a local Administrator account.
Select the printer (in my case it was automatically found).

I installed Gutenprint for OS X. The newest version supports my printer. It now prints perfectly using that driver. Weird because it didn't seem like a driver issue. Thanks anyway guys! Hope this helps somebody in the future.
