This goes back to an earlier message.  An smb: link is Samba.  You are 
printing to a Windows print queue, and so you also need to make sure 
samba is installed and functioning.

Also, that link you enclosed was an example, I hope...  SMB://localhost 
is connecting back to you Linux box with Samba...  That could mean you 
had a Windows print queue on your box, and it pointed to something else.

Where is the printer?  Is it connected directly to the network, or is it 
connected to a computer on the network?
