I assume you only have to install the RPM package samba-client
so that there is a /usr/bin/smbclient


FYI:

The YaST printer module in openSUSE 11.1 was a
complete re-write from scratch, see
http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development/Printer_Enhancement

It is simply not yet implemented in the Connection Wizard
that it cheks if the required RPM is actually installed
for a particular kind of connection, e.g.
samba-client for SMB
ncpfs for IPX
cups-backends for 'beh' and 'pipe'
...


Kind Regards
