Linux connect to Windows Printer through Samba

The first thing: Install and launch service

Install stuffs
sudo pacman -S samba smbclient cups
Launch required services
sudo systemctl enable smbd nmbd winbindd //nmbd may not required, it used to resolve netbios name
sudo systemctl start smbd nmbd winbindd

Config your printer in CUPS

Go to localhost:631, enter remote printer the address
Your printer's address should look like smb://WORKGROUP/smb:password@SAMPC/HP%20Deskjet%201050%20J410%20series
format smb://{WORK_GROUP_NAME}/{print account}:{password}@{Remote server}/{printer name}

sudo systemctl start org.cups.cupsd.service
Edit the conf file
sudo vim /etc/cups/printers.conf
