The samba support (authentication part?) in net-print/cups-1.1.22 seems to be broken as I always get: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED and Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds... However, local printers worked. I was using the same config files I used with my older version of cups. I tried setting debug and debug2 in the cups.conf but that didn't give any detailed information. I even tried re-emerging ghostscript, foomatic, etc. and even samba without any success. Downgrading to 1.1.20-r5 fixed it all.

I have been able to reproduce this bug, though have not been able to fix the bug. Somehow you always get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED, but connecting to the printer using the smbclient command works fine with the same user/pass. I have checked the config files, the right user/pass are in them (the web interface never shows them, so I checked them to be sure).
CUPS authentication has changed slightly with version 1.1.22. See samba bug #1892, which is fixed in 3.0.8. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1892 cups >= 1.1.22 should depend on samba >= 3.0.8 My tests confirm samba 3.0.8-r1 is still backwards compatible with cups-1.1.20-r5 for this issue.
@2: No, samba 3.0.8 does NOT fix anything as I already had 3.0.8 when I initially filed this bug. As far as my investigation goes, it seems that there have been changes in cups > 1.1.20 and the uri uses different format. Unfortunatelly I don't think there is anything to be patched. The best that can be done by the cups ebuild maintainer, in my opinion, is to have einfo after the merge of cups > 1.1.20 statig that the smb format has been changed. Now, about the change itself: Used to be: smb://user:pass@wrkgrp/host/share >cups-1.1.20: smb://wrkgrp/user:pass@host/share Hope this helps. I had to find it the hard way after not having cups working with samba in Mandrake 10.1. Found the info about the change somewhere on the web (google it and it'll pop up)...
Actually I was wrong (kinda) - samba-3.0.8-r1 does fix cups-1.1.22
I had the same issue. I had to add these entries to my package.keywords: <net-print/cups-1.1.23 ~amd64 <net-fs/samba-3.0.9 ~amd64 in order to get cups 1.1.22 and samba 3.0.8-r1. with both installed my problem went away.
fixed the depend string
