Hello,
Not sure if this is much help, but I followed the same article with some 
slight modification / adjustment to suit my need and it works. 
My suggestion is to test the following:

1. Make sure you can create PDF with the script and everything *on* the linux 
box itself. This is to make sure that your script is really working.

2. If 1 is fine, the likely your problem is the samba share. Make sure you 
configure sambe to publicly share it and that you can access the printer.

Seems like your problem is a bit combination of the two, but I don't know. I'd 
make sure that 1 works first, then we can better pinpoint where the trouble 
really is.

Hope that helps.
