either 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x networks?  Don't forget to use a
full stop after them like:

hosts allow 192.168.1. 192.168.2.

or you could write it like:

hosts allow 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, but smbmount is for
letting the Linux box mount (connect to) a Windows (or Samba) share on
another machine.  It seems that what you want is the other way around.
 i.e. to connect to Samba on the Linux machine from the Windows
machine.

Yes, if you want to connect to Samba from the Windows machine then you
do not have to do anything with /etc/fstab or smbmount.

What does your smb.conf look like?  And what happens when you try to
connect/print from the Windows machine?  What errors to you get?
