Yes.

See the example smbprint in the standard distribution. You have to use
the smbclient to establish a link. smbprint uses a shell script to
convert files eg gs to convert postscript pages to your appropriate 
printer, then sets up the connection using smbclient, finally piping the 
data. Works great.
