Auto discovering Windows printer?

Hello

Isn't CUPS supposed to detect a printer that is connected to a Windows PC in the same LAN? The "List available printers" shows nothing while smbclient does:

$ smbclient -L mrdarcy -N
Domain=[MRDARCY] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

        print$          Disk      Druckertreiber
        SharedDocs      Disk

Any ideas why it isn't automatically discovered?
