samba - Mar 2001 - Printing and Sharing

Ok, I'll start with the sharing.  I'm trying to use smbmount to mount
the
file space on the other computer so I can browse it through this one.I type
in
 
[root@localhost /]# smbmount //jdph5/i$ <file://jdph5/i$>  /mnt/smb -o
username=dnestler
Password:
tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share
name)
SMB connection failed
 
Now I know that the share on jdph5 is correct, because I can browse it using
smbclient.  So I'm wondering if I'm using the wrong command, or if I
need to
make /mnt/smb a shared filespace, if so how do I do that?
 
Also wondering about printers....I've got all the access rights and so
forth, but I need to mount some printers...and I'm little more then confused
on how to do this.  Any help on either of these two issues is much
appreciated

[ Could you please fix your mailer not to translate // into file:// ...
  Failing that, why not report it as a bug to the vendor? Or use something
  that works. I assume that the jdph5 bit should only be listed once? ]

Since smbclient works, could you post the commandline you use for that?

I do lots of smbmount '//jdph5/i$' ... mounts, but I don't think the
' are
really necessary. Doesn't hurt to try.

What is a shared filespace? /mnt/smb needs to exist, that is all.

You don't mount printers ... well, most people don't.

You can configure your lpd to print to a remote smb printer (I assume the
printer is connected to some smb server?) I assume most linux
distributions have some tool to configure printing. I have only done this 
on RH which uses the printtool command and then print filters use 
smbclient to do the printing (file transmission).

Ok, to get the smbclient line to work I typed this

[root@localhost /root]# smbclient //jdph5/i$ -U dnestler
Password:
Domain=[HSSJNUDPH] OS=[Windows NT 4.0] Server=[NT LAN Manager 4.0]
smb: \>

In light of this...for some odd reason I can't get this computer to join the
workgroup I wanted it to, any ideas on where I go to change that?

I'm running redhat 7.0...I ran the printtool program to configure my printer
but when its all set up and I try to print a test page it sends the print
job to local host
