When I upgraded my Ubuntu to 10.10 also Debian to 6.0 I experienced this cups error so herre's the fix. - OK it would seem that there is a problem with the samba windows client, any attempt to add an smb unc path e.g
smb://<servername>\<printername>
for the printer, gives a system error or cups error message "client-error-not-possible" this I think is caused because the smb client is now samba4-client, when the system is looking for sambaclient all you need do is install the smbclient which will uninstall your samba4-clients and voila problem no more or should we say problem fixed so again apt-get install smbclient it will remove samba4-clients which is ok if you don't specifically use it. Hope this helps... ;)
