Windows printer via SAMBA

I have a printer shared from a Windows 7 Box named "HP psc 2100 Series" and the PC's name is TV. So I am assuming the correct usage would be "smb://TV/HP psc 2100 Series". I have tried through HP Toolbox, http based setup AND gnome-system-settings. Any advice on how to fix this?

Just off the cuff - spaces, spaces and spaces !
When will people (in general) learn that spaces will almost _always_ cause problems - sooner or later.

What errors are you getting when you try to connect to the printer?

A couple of thoughts off the top of my head: Do you have an IP address for TV mapped in /etc/hosts and is the printers "Share Name" the same as the name in Windows?
