Setup sharing printer?

Q4 : About work flow of printing in a shared printer, please verify the printing steps as below:
     a) run a print command locally to print a document in a shared printer
     b) do the rendering locally first
     c) send the "rendering done" document file to a shared printer
     d) the cups server with that shared printer get the print job and directly send it to the printer without doing any extra processing
      Is it right?
