I'll assume you meant "find out what resources other computers are sharing
over the network" there.
For SMB servers, "smbclient -L MACHINE" will show you all the network
filesystems, printers, and various other things that MACHINE is making
available via SMB. You can use an IP address instead of a machine name too.
You may need the -U username and -W workgroup options, depending on how the
remote machines are set up.
For NFS servers, "showmount -e MACHINE" should show you all the NFS
filesystems that MACHINE is making available.
For printers, the CUPS web interface shows quite a bit of info about many
modern printers hooked to a network, but I'm not sure how it gets that info.
"lpinfo" might be what you're looking for. Can't tell; I don't have a printer
at home.
