Thanks to perthie for:

Title:          cups-smb.tczl
Description:    The Samba components needed to set up a Windows shared printer in CUPS
Version:        3.4.1

Extension_by:   perthie
Comments:       This extension works with cups1311.tczl
                --------
                In CUPS, add your Windows printer as smb://PCNAME/PRINTERNAME
                --------
                Find PCNAME under Control Panel > System > Computer Name > Full name
                --------
                PRINTERNAME is the one-word identifier assigned by Windows. Find it
                under the Sharing tab of the printer's properties. If PRINTERNAME
                contains spaces, replace them with the code %20 in CUPS.
                --------
                If your PC requires authentication, try
                    smb://USER:PASSWORD@WORKGROUP/PCNAME/PRINTERNAME
                --------
                You may need to modify your PC's firewall or security software to
                allow network printing.
