I've always found dealing with Samba's shenanigans much more effort than
configuring Windows to print to a printer using HTTP/IPP (i.e. CUPS).
Quite apart from the mess that you need to deal with to get a printer
going through Samba, it's yet another thing in the middle, and it's
completely unnecessary.
I have never used SAMBA....but I've always been told (by Windows admins
no less!...LOL!) that it was the easiest thing in the world to use....is
it not so?....
