One (or more) of your combinations should do it. But with
 smbclient \\\\server\\printer ...
(2 \ in fornt of the server, each one escaped form the shell, that 
are 4; 1 \ between server and share, escaped form the shell that are 
2). But with recend versios von smbclient it should work as smbclient 
//server/printer

May try the -W parameter as well.

Can you connet to the printer, or any share on the server with 
smbclient interactivly?
