I share a printer with Apsfilter on the 5.3 machine with the printer attached, Print Services for UNIX on one WIN 2K remote machine, and simply editing the /etc/printcap file on another remote 5.3 machine. Then add the two machines to the /etc/hosts.lpd file on the box with the printer attached. I believe the Handbook chapter on printing covers this; also the Apsfilter materials. No NFS required.
