Just solved the problem, and Im going to share hoping to help other
that could came with the same problem:
Disable the Administratives shares going into windows registry, this
will make cups find the right printer share.

Servers
For NT 4.0/W2K/Windows Server 2003s, the change is:
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters
Name: AutoShareServer
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0
Idiot proof note: If you can't find the value in the registry under
the exact location (i.e. it does not exist) - please right click in
the right pane of the window and create it.
Note: A reboot is necessary for this to take effect.
Workstations
For NT 4.0 Workstation/W2K Pro/XP Pro, the change is:
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters
Name: AutoShareWks
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0
