but the printer does not work, and there is no response from the printer at all!

Are you connecting this printer directly with a USB cable? If so, you don't need the smbc backend. It is just for printers connected to a networked Windows machine.

Connect and turn on the printer.

Click on the CUPS Administration tab.

Select Find New Printers.

Your printer should be auto-detected.
