Wait a moment. Isn't Windows printer sharing such that you have to
have the printer drivers installed on any computer that wants to print
to it? I'm almost sure that that's how it works. (I'd love to be
corrected.)
In that case, though, it's still possible to install Adobe Distiller
on that Windows box which would provide a PostScript virtual printer
over the regular printer driver, and then use that with smbclient.

Computers are like air conditioners. Both stop working if you open windows.
