Cannot connect to Windows Printer

I have laptop with arch linux, installed with cups and samba, further my Desktop installed with Windows 11 having the connection with Kyocera Taskalfa 1800 printer. I can connect to the laptop with samba (smbclient), also I can mount shared file using (cifs) but I cannot share the printer. Whenever I try to print through it, it show filter error with nothing in cups error log or samba error log. While I can do the same from Ubuntu Live CD. Futher the output of smbclient is as follow
