  Either I don't know what you're doing, or you don't know what you're
doing. As far as I know, you can't export a printer with NFS, that's one
of the advantages of RFS, in that it can export physical devices.

  I suggest you use a more conventional approach and set up a remote
line printer daemon, then use standard remote line printer protocols for
sending data to the printer *queue*.

  My manual describes this in some detail, and I bet yours does too.
