Try this first, to make sure you've got Samba working:

date | smbclient service -c "print -"

where service is the shared printer.  For example, I've got a printer
called hp shared from a windows box named 'lousyos' :) .  So I would
execute this:

date | smbclient '//lousyos/hp' -c "print -"

Don't forget the quotes.

If that works, then tell us what dist your running, because setting the
remote printer is different from one dist to the next.
