rpcclient talks to Samba. Are you wanting to use Samba as a means to share your CUPS printers to Windows clients?

If yes, you need to set this up in the Samba configuration, smb.conf and elsewhere.

If you just want to see the printers installed on a CUPS server, run this command from any CUPS client (Unix, Linux, Mac OS X):

  lpstat -h cups_server -p
