Can't see Windows printers (SMB) from SuSe 9.3

This is probably a very common question. I just installed a shiny new SuSE 9.3 system and tried to setup printing to a Windows shared printer. Oddly, although I can see the Windows file shares I can't see the shared printer. I ran into this same issue with a Mac Mini. Apple's TIger release (BSD in disguise) sees the Windows file shares but doesn't see the shared printer. This same Windows shared printer works fine when I print to it from other Windows systems. BTW, when I want to see the file shares I get a pop up box that asks for a username and password. When I supply these I can see the file shares.
