[Samba] Samba 4.19.4 as printer server: printer are not show in browser

I have install from RPM on a Fedora server samba 4.19.4 + cups + cups-
pdf to allow some client windows to print and generate PDF on server in
order to analyse and convert these files into another format.

I have configure smb.conf in this way[1] (on standard file I have only
add "[global]/map to guest = bad user" and "[printers]/browseable =
Yes"), but when I try to browse the server, printer cups-pdf are not
show into list of printer browsable[2] an I cannot connect to it. 

What's is wrong on my configurations?

Many thanks

Dario
