Can you ensure, that you followed
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_as_a_print_server
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configuring_Point_n_Click_Automatic_Printer_Driver_Deployment


If you completely followed the guides, and still having problems, please
provide more details, that allows us to help. E. g.
- Samba Version?
- Self compiled, Distro package, other package?
- smb.conf
- Full driver name incl. version
- Driver type (PS, PCL5/6,...)
- etc.


Regards,
Marc
