directory to the list of directories being exported to the PCs
running PC-NFS.
Make sure that the PCs have read and write access to this

not mount the printer.

exportfs -a

following command:

option]...]
NOTE: The print device can be either lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3. The host
is the server name, and the printername is the name
assigned to the printer.
7. Use the net printers command to see a list of printers:
attached to the server.
net printers <servername>
