I'm a bit confused about what you are trying to do.
Are you trying to print from linux, to a printer shared
by a windows box?
I don't think your samba settings is relevant for printing
to windows from linux.

You're missing the :if line, which is basically a wrapper to smbclient.

This isn't relevant either, this lets the windows box use
a printer connected to your linux box, and I don't think
its needed at all for smb.
Have a look at the docs, man pages, etc, for smbclient and
do a few test prints using smbclient, if you like.
But I used printtool to set /etc/printcap up for me, it only
took a few minutes, and there's no need to RTFM either :)
Thanks to the good folks at debian. And redhat gets a small
thanks as well :)
