Nope. PC-NFS printing uses an nfs mount to spool files to the server, then a command to pcnfsd on the server system to print the file. You need to make sure pcnfsd is running on your printer server system, and then review the pcnfsd configuration file to make sure your printer has been configured there. -- I'd rather be sailing.
