- With reference to the PC_NFS Users'guide, chapter on 'Using Printers'
- subsections 'Mounting a Network Printer' using nfscon/command line, there are
- some examples on how to map printdevices to different printers on
- different hosts.
- e.g net use LPT1: popcorn:lwtr
- net use LPT2: curry:lw /end=h,/fmt=p
- net use LPT3: candy:laserw /end=m,/fmt=r
-
- I did'nt come across any mention of having to have PCNFSD
- running on all the different hosts, which is confusing because on the PR_INIT
- protocol there is no hostname field. Am I to understand that PC NFS Client is
- sendig the PR_INIT request to the host mentioned in the net use command,
- implying that PCNFSD is to be running on all the hosts?
