If you set up Samba as a print server, clients in your network are able to send print jobs to the Samba host using the server message block (SMB) protocol. The examples shown in this documentation use a raw printer in the back end. This configuration requires that the print job is formatted by a driver on the client and thus can be processed by the printer without further processing or filtering.
Samba supports the multiple print server back ends, such as CUPS and LPRng. For a complete list, see the
printing parameter in the smb.conf(5) man page.
For details how to set up the back end, see the print server's documentation.
