With 9.2 you'd have to use Dave (it's the software not the guy)

With 10.1 you can mount smb shares from the go -> Connect To Server Menu, 
(smb://netbiosname/share, and then enter the workgroup, user name, and passwd 
at the prompt. In 10.2 you'll be able to browse for them as well. I'm not 
sure about printers, but you should be able to do the same with them. Current 
limitations are one share mounted at a time though. I'm not sure if that'll 
change in 10.2 or not.

With ydl you can use samba, and join the domain, or use smbmount to mount 
shares. (man smbmount). There's also GnoSamba, and a couple of other gui 
front ends for smbmount that I can't recall right now.
