I don't clearly understand your question. Please describe exactly what
you want to achieve.

 From what I guess, it is that you want start the "Add Printer Wizard"
on a Win workstation and add a printer to the Samba server.

This is not possible -- or only possible if you provide a custom script
and call it with the "add printer command" in smb.conf. The script would
have to draw its input parameters from the fields filled in by the user
running the "Add Printer Wizard" and then create a printer to the real
Unix print subsystem of your Samba server (not just add it to the
smb.conf)

What is possible is to add a driver to the Samba server and associate it
to a pre-existing (raw) print queue of the Unix print subsystem (this
queue may, in the case of CUPS, have been created with the help of the
CUPS web interface sitting behind port 631).
