While PC-NFS does not have direct support under windows, it is possible
to get the two to cooperate.

In order to print the PC-NFS printer you must first mount it in DOS
with a net use command.  Then set up your printer in Windows to print
to LPTn:.OS2.  This allows windows to recognize the virtual ports that
PC-NFS uses.

I hope this helps (it works fine for me)
