You are getting close :)

It is a driver related issue, you can either install windows drivers 
onto the samba server. This has the benefit of when ever you add the 
printer to a client the drivers will be installed automagically.

If you are just after a quick fix, just add "use client driver = yes" to 
your global section. This will get rid of the error, which is pretty 
much harmless anyway.
