Check out http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_print_winserver . The CUPS understands smb:// URLs so all you've to do is to just specify the SMB URL + PPD for your printer in CUPS configuration. PPD is the printer driver for CUPS. Following is the ASCII diagram of operation of CUPS:

The printer can be a real printer, or a virtual printer.
