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.
