Do you see Office3's queues on the Office1 server?

What do you mean by "directly" in "Office3 can't connect do Office1 directly"?

When you say "office2 CUPS to print on his printers by smb share" what  
exactly do you mean?  Did he create specific print queues in Samba  
[smb.conf] that point to Office1 queues are is Samba discovering those  
queues from the local [Office2] CUPS server?
