Is parts of the smbclient package also what you consider being libsmbclient ?

It seems like the smbclient and rpcclient binaries is used.

kdelibs/kdeprint/cups/cupsaddsmb2.cpp:  
m_proc << "smbclient" << QString::fromLatin 
("//")+m_servered->text()+"/print$";
kdelibs/kdeprint/cups/cupsaddsmb2.cpp:  
m_proc << "rpcclient" << m_servered->text();


kdelibs/kdeprint/lpr/apshandler.cpp:                    QString 
smbname(sysconfDir() + "/" + prt->printerName() + "/smbclient.conf");

kdelibs/kdeprint/lpr/matichandler.cpp:  m_smbpath = 
KStandardDirs::findExe("smbclient");

The point is that you must install on the provider to digit on a printer.
