Make sure it is started at next reboot using:

chkconfig cups on

You also need to make sure that there is a link to smbspool in the CUPS 

backend directory:

# ls  al /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Mar 1 12:34 /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb  > 

../../../bin/smbspool

You can verify smb support in CUPS using this command:

# lpinfo  v | grep smb

network smb

You can create a new printer in two ways:

Using the 

lpadmin

 command

Using the CUPS Web interface

We describe both methods in detail.

Create printer using lpadmin command

You can create a printer from the command line. This enables scripted creation 

of many printers. This means that creation of domain printers can be 

incorporated into a login profile, such that users do not have to create printers by 

hand on their client.

To create the printer on the command line we use the following command:

lpadmin  p printer1  E  v smb://Administrator:*****@SMB3LAB26/printer1  D 

"printer1 in AD6380 example domain"

You need to change the fields to the names in your own domain. The first 

printer1 is the local printer name and the second printer1 is the name of the 

printer share. The server SMB3LAB26 is the print server. If the printer share is 

available for everyone, you can leave out the user name and password in the 

smb: URL. Since using a user protected printer share will expose passwords in 

scripts and login profiles, the best practice is to make printer shares available for 

everyone.

You can also add the  m option to set the model. Or use the  l option to set a 

location.
