I tried and could not find any thing that indicated that an LTPS terminal was sharing it's printer using any protocol.
From what you are saying, the printer should be an SMB shared printer and that Samba is running on the terminal.
I will look at that more, maybe I had the configuration wrong but I did not find any SMB running on the terminal.

I would like to see the problem defined, it looks like solutions for a non 
existant problem.

A single cups server at a place can manage printers anywhere for users who are 
someware.

The server talks to the printer directly, network printing (LTSP lp daemon) 
etc

The users talk to the cups-server by native-windows-network-printing, from a 
machine running a cups daemon.

Using the above picture, an ltsp server or two, a sea of ltsp clients, 
printers scattered through the mix, anybody (including windows users) can 
talk to any printer from anywhere, the only complication is running a cups
client daemon if you want to print from an ltsp-terminal-shell (a most unusual
requirement)
