the postcript driver is usually a safe bet.

this sounds less like a printer driver problem and more like a network
configuration problem, and specifically with samba. Try running smbclient
with the appropraite switches (man smbclient, or just smbclient to get the
help). basically, you should be able to see the printer listed when you
run this smb client.. After that, try putting in a username into the
printer's config (under the samba section in printtool).
