B.1 Windows 95 LPR Utilities

Other vendors provide utilities that allow printing from Windows 95 using lpr.

B.2 PC-NFS for Windows

The NIC was designed as a direct network interface for printers in Unix environments that support the line printer daemon (lpd). The NIC also works with PC/TCP-compatible software, such as PC/TCP FTP, and with VMS systems that support (lpd).

PC-NFS enables DOS users shared printers attached to hosts or to PCs. PC-NFS users can access the printer through their Unix PC-NFS server and print jobs at the rated speed of the printer.

To set up a shared printer:

1.Install PC-NFS on your PC. See your PC-NFS installation guide for instructions.

2.Set up a PC-NFS server as described in the PC-NFS installation guide. Make sure that the server runs the PC-NFS daemon rpc.pcnfsd.

3.Set up a printer on the PC-NFS server as described in Chapter 10 in this guide.

4.Edit the serverÕs /etc/exports Þle and add the print spool directory to the list of directories being exported to the PCs running PC-NFS.

Make sure that the PCs have read and write access to this directory. If the spool directory is not exported, PC-NFS will not mount the printer.
