Samba passes all print requests through to the underlying OS print system.
If printing quotas are enabled in any way then it is the responsibility of
the underlying print system to enforce them, this is NOT a samba
responsibility or capability.

Please refer to the documentation for your OS printing system to determine
whether or not printing quotas are supported, as well as how to enable and
enforce them.

If your OS printing system supports quotas then samba will not over-ride
them. You can force samba to pass all print requests through as a
particular user and you can configure it to over-ride printing
restrictions, but that is not it's normal mode of operation.
