Can each machine see the shares on the other hosts if you use the tools
from the "smbclient" package? The printers should be listed if you run

smbclient -U USERNAME -L //HOSTNAME

(Change "USERNAME" and "HOSTNAME" as is appropriate for your network;
 you will be prompted for the SMB password if necessary.)
