evolution, passwords and smb printer Q's

q1) having a problem with Outlook users sending tnef attachments instead 
of the proper vcard.  I've seen hints of a plug-in for evolution that 
handles these attachments but I have not been able to find any details 
on it courtesy google etc.

q2) again traveling from site to site I need to connect to different SMB 
printers at different times.  I have no problem just adding printers but 
I need to browse for them because usually I can't get the full path or 
name without going into Windows, writing it down a piece of paper, and 
then transcribing it back into Linux.

what tool can I use to browse for printers?  The nautilus Explorer does 
not work for printers, only file shares.

q3) Nautilus and SMB share passwords seem to be somewhat problematic.  I 
get asked for the password multiple times when connecting to first 
machine then share.  It doesn't seem to happen with simple networks with 
host resident passwords but seems to occur with active directory 
networks.  Any ideas?  Is this a bug that should be filed?

Many thanks
