Not me, but I have had a lot of problems getting CUPS/Samba configured
so that I can print from linux to windoze and also the other direction.
I spent hours perusing the samba documentation, I urge you to do the
same. I'm not (at the moment) running Fedora, but on my Tao linux box
the samba docs can be found in /usr/share/doc/samba*4/docs, where there
are several PDF files. also in a subdir are all the html files. There is
a LOT of documentation there, so if you're willing to slog thru it you
may find the info you need.
good luck!
