What happens if you go via "Settings->Printer->New Printer" and
then "Print Server"

- You should see the all defined printers from your SAMBA server here
- You should be able to select one and continue (hopefully)
  There's a message saying that you should install the printer driver
  locally
- Select the proper printer driver from disk
