you should define this printer by default in cups with lpadmin -D
printername (if IIRC, might be -d). That's more of a cups question. Then
lpr will behave as you expect and send the jobs to this printer.

but I can't figure out why you're using the smb backend instead of the
native cups protocol (which wouldn't require setting up a driver on the
client) between the 2 nix boxes...
