This in some cases is possible but not always true.

In my case I start CUPS at boot, and smb and nmb manually after connect
to it via ssh

Furthermore if I stop samba, then restart CUPS and start samba, the
printers are not listed until I print a job on a fake printer ...

... or, as Andreas shows here :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2263500#c9

I run this command:

# rpcclient ncacn_np:localhost -c enumprinters -Usomesmbuser


In your comment he suggests also the following hypothesis:
