It didn't find any SMB shares there.  Did you apply the package updates
first?  I ask because an updated F-13 system-config-printer package can
adjust the firewall appropriately for you.

Another thing to try if 'Find Network Printer' still doesn't work is to
select 'Windows Printer via SAMBA' and browse for the right shares.
