Windows Printing Support in Linux

	No, I don't mean using WinPrinters in Linux, I mean... using Windows 
Shared Printers (hooked to other computers, shared over the network).

	I need to find a wizard that makes the use of these printers (and hell, 
SMB/CIFS shares) as easy as it is in Windows. I'd love transparent 
file-share mounts, but that might be too much to ask.

	So far for File-Share mounts, i've found smb4k, but it's not quite easy 
enough. I need something like Network Neighborhood.

	No, I don't use Ark yet. I have long been interested in the 
distribution, but am largely waiting for it to hit some kind of release 
where the developers say it is 'stable and ready'.

	At present I use Mandrake for its relative ease-of-use and flexibility. 
At this point I am seriously considering switching to something better.

	I know many of you have probably had similar problems before, so 
believe it best to ask these questions of you.
