How are you running this dos program on linux?
vmware, win4lin? Or, did you move the printer onto a linux server but still
run the program on a windows box?
If this program  is running on a linux box, you
don't need to use samba to print from it. Samba is only to allow windows
clients to access the printer attached to it.
Please give more detail.
