Printing presents similar minor annoyances. I have my network set up so
that 
the Linux boxes run CUPS locally and that prints to the remote windows
print 
queue. 

<snip annoyances>

I use a linux box at college to access the NT/Novell network here.  I
use pdq  (http://pdq.sourceforge.net/) for printing - easy to setup and
I've never had any trouble with it, even on our Novell network.

Also, I would recommend the ncpfs 
(ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/ncpfs/) tools for accessing network
drives.  I couldn't get the printing part of it going though - and
didn't bother trying once I found pdq.

Hth, Chris.
