Of course it can!
There are several ways to access smb servers by Linux. If you want to access a 
filesystem I suggest you to mount the filesystem using smbmount. Otherwise 
you can use smbclient to list all available shares of a smb server (either 
Linux or windows). Printing is a bit complex, since every distribution is 
shipped with its own printing-setup tools, but you have to create a smb 
remote printer.

Hope this helps.
