Fighting with CUPS

Had this strange problem with CUPS on my laptop today: it just stopped working (instead, started to give me all those annoying NT_RESULT_BAD_NETWORK_NAME errors). The good thing is that I managed to finally figure out the correct format of smb:// URIs. It looks like that:

smb://windows_user:password@windows_workgroup/windows_machine/resource

Web interface to CUPS (running on port 631, usually) still gives me this strange error. But it works.

Also, fiddling with samba configuration did not solve the problem with bad network name.
