Could you describe more explicite what you mean.
Is "most of the time" just your personal experience or could you provide information about possible reasons why it does not work "most of the time" - i.e. what changes from time to time so that it does sometimes work but most of the time it does not work.
I ask because I am not in a Windows-like environment so that I like to learn what I must have in mind when I re-implement it.
The majority of issues are caused by a non working name resolution. Even if Microsoft is DNS aware since quite some time a lot of the name resolution in smaller (Microsoft) networks is still done by NetBIOS over IP name service requests. Therefore starting the nmb service - which is part of the package named samba - by calling service nmb start might lower the pain, delay, or waiting time while looking for printing resources in a Microsoft Windows environment.
