Intstall UNIX to windows printing in the NT control panel to print to the printers. They will be accessible via the standard lpd printing system.

To connect to your windows shares do this:

mount -t smbfs -o<username>,<password> //<windows machine name>/<share name> /<linux mount point>

Good luck.

It is the directory under /mnt (or can be any other directory) where you want your mounted filesystem to appear. If you are a windows guy, you can think of mount points like you do drive letters, just a representation that allows you to remember where the files are that you need to access on a different filesystem.
