I don't think you remember correctly ;). From man smb.conf I read

Any way I have installed a new samba server and a new printer on the
server. From a 64bit client I have installed the 64 and 32 bit drivers
and all seems to works correctly: on the server I can find the drivers
installed in <path option in print$>/x64/3 for the 64bit version and
<path option in print$>/W32X86/3 for the 32 bit version.
If I double click on the shared printers from a 64bit client I get the
error: "A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from
connecting to this printer queue".
If I double click on the shared printer from a 32 bit client the printer
seems to be installed correctly but when I go to the printer properties
I get the message that the printer driver is not installed and if I want
install a new one. On the logs I can find:
> [2020/10/30 11:23:17.823375, 0] ../source3/smbd/trans2.c:3447(smbd_do_qfsinfo)
> smbd_do_qfsinfo: not an allowed info level (0x102) on IPC$.
If I choose to install a new driver and I choose the same 32bit version
of the driver the system says that it is not possible to install the driver.
