We recently connected a PC running PC-NFS ver 3.01 to a Sun Network with Sparc Station 1, Sun 3 etc. If a net print command is given to print a file in a Postscript Printer (laser quality), connected to a remote Server in the network, the lpq command shows the ownership of the print to some other user (who also has got the root privlege). However, if a print is done with the rsh command (DOS type command with a pipe to rsh), this problem does not occur. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is a summary to the question I posted about PC-NFS Net Print: Thanks to all the people who responded to this problem. Looks like many people have this problem with PC-NFS. I talked to Sun Tech Support and they acknowledged that this is a bug in the PC-NFS. According to them, when a Net Print command is given, the owner of the print is the root or the person logged into the Console (where the printer is connected.) They said they are working on it.
