Dear BUMers,

Does anyone have experience with PC-NFS?
I want to share a printer between PC's and UNIX-systems. The printer is
connected with the LPT1 port of a pc installed with PC-NFS.
After adjusting the /etc/printcap file it must be possible to print
files from the unix systems to the printer connected to the PC.
When I print a file, this file is indeed send to the right spool directory
but with the lpq command I get the message: waiting for pc (with the
printer connected on LPT1) to come up.
I'd be very interested to hear from anyone else with hands-on experience
for a solution for this problem.

Best Regards,

Kees van de Kolk
