*| We are using SCO ODT 2.0 and Wollong Pathway 2.1.1 and Client NFS 1.2.1
*| (? not sure if that is correct -- either 1.2 or 1.2.1).  When we try to
*| mount a printer via NFS we find its not exported.  When I put a printer
*| in the /etc/exports file on the server, SCO barfs and pcnfsd dies when
*| I try to mount it.
*| 
*| What is the proper way to export a printer for NFS mount/printing?  TFM
*| doesn't give any clues.


In PNCFSD printing, as you say you're using, you do not export the
physical device.  You export a spool directory, and in the
/etc/pcnfsd.conf file you configure this spool directory and the
print method.  If you have the man pages, "man pcnfsd" will give you
the necessary information for SCO ODT 2.0.
