Network shares aren't visible by default in the WM file explorer, and you'll need 3rd party software to browse them. On the other hand, actually connecting to shares is actually fairly simple. In the standard File Explorer, select Menu->Open Path->New Path, and type in the address. The address is in the format \\[Computer name]\[share name].

BTW, printers are another thing entirely - WM doesn't have printer drivers, so again 3rd party software is required if you want to print anything.
