what i did was enter yast/hardware/printers. i clicked on set up network printers then print via smb network server. i entered the workgroup name and what i thought was the host server name. is that the name of the windows machine where the printers are connected? then i added the name of the network printer according to the share name on the host machine. there is no user name or password to use the printer so i left those fields blank.
