You may have a look at my generic but rather old article
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Printing_from_Windows_to_Linux

In general it should be still valid in particular for
older Windows versions but some things have changed
meanwhile, e.g. in CUPS 2.3 the cupsaddsmb program
has been removed, cf.
https://github.com/apple/cups/issues/5449

By the way FYI:
Current CUPS upstream is no longer
https://github.com/apple/cups
and
https://www.cups.org
but nowadays it is
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups
and
https://openprinting.github.io/cups
