samba lets your linux box act as a server for windows clients.  To do the
other-way-around, you need the smb client stuff like smbfs and smbprint.
You won't be able to burn CDs on your CDR or use your scanner, though,
through SMB (if this is incorrect, please correct me, someone.. it'd be
cool if you *could* do that :) )
