Worng. The printer can't work from the SAMBA machine beacuse it's a
windows only printer. It can be shared by the SAMBA server though. You
can use the windows drivers on a windows based client to send
information to the printer however.

And I got it working. The printer share path should be set to /tmp

On the windows side, make sure you send the data as RAW. 

I made those tweaks, and it works.
