Hmm, everything there looks fine. I take it the printer does show up in 
the Wine printer dialog as "lp", and you are selecting "lp"?

What happens when you try to print? Does the printer activity light flash?

In general, for remote queues, you should be setting the queue type to 
"raw" regardless of the actual printer type. I don't really know for 
sure whether this is the case for SMB queues, especially since you say 
that you can print Postscript files ok from the command line. It might 
be worth trying a raw queue, assuming the lp one is not.
