Sorry, what I meant to say was there is no NFS server component.
Admittedly, I haven't given much thought to using the ftpd
or rshd utilities that came with the software. I was hoping there was something
that would allow me to see a shared drive on both machines as an icon (like NFS)
since the last thing my wife wants to do is learn the command line. :-)

Many people have suggested that I use these utilities and write a script to
access the printer on the BB side.  I'll see what I can do with scripts and
hopefully setting up icons to make it easier for her.

Sigh, it doesn't look like there is going to be an easy solution for me, but
thanks for all the info so far.
