Why does it need samba-client? It's a package containing command-line
utilities none of which seem to be used by gnome-control-center.

I have no idea, all I know is that I got an error trying to add a samba printer without this package installed. Same issue happens with system-config-printer (just a bit more verbose, saying "CUPS ERROR NOT POSSIBLE" or something similar, so it must be some lousy cups problem)
