In reverse order:
Printers are a little different. CUPS (part of SuSE's installation)
should allow you to share printers.
CDs and the rest are all devices, and shareable with NFS, though
switching CDs can sometimes confuse matters.
You can cable the two machines directly, with a crossover cable, but
it's not the best method, in my opinion. Hubs abd switches are now
very cheap. Plug all your devices into a hub/switch and use DHCP to
configure them to a non-routed address space. You can then network
between them, and you can easily expand the network, adding other
computers as well as networked devices, like some printers, MP3 players,
wireless routers, etc.
