That model doesn't do SMB printing. It does AppleTalk, lpr, and Novell.

You set up an lpr port on your computer, and tell the driver to use that.

The lpr port involves the IP address you gave the Fiery, and the queue
name. On a Fiery, queue names are fixed: print and hold. Lowercase,
just like that.
