I used to do it all the time.  In mutt, for example:

set print_command="smbclient \\\\\\\\lpthost\\\\printer1 -P -c 'printmode graphics; print -'" 

(Note: with Samba 2.x, the "-P" flag is unnecessary.)

This command could be used from just about any program, sans
ultra-backslash-escaping.  (Windoze locations are \\host\service.)
