I have a legacy Win3.1 system from which I would occasionally like to print to
my network printer. I understand that Samba would permit this in the opposite
direction, so I figure there must be a way to have the Winbox print via network
linux print server.

Am I wrong about this?

No, you are correct.

Look for 'Setting up a raw SAMBA printer' in the Printing.txt file in
the Samba documentation.

FWIW, I can print from W31 to a NEC P7 printer over the network, with
the following added to /etc/printcap and smb.conf:

/etc/printcap:

p7-raw:\
:rw:sh: \
:lp=/dev/lp0: \
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/p7-raw: \
:fx=flp: \
:sf:

smb.conf:

[p7-raw]
comment = P7 using WIN/DOS drivers
path = /var/spool/lpd/p7-raw
print command = lpr -b -P%p %s
public = no
writable = no
printable = yes
