[comp.windows.ms] Win 3,PC-NFS and printer

lindel01@lne.kth.se (08/14/90)

We are using PC-NFS fron SUN to connect our PC:s to our Apollo
network. Under Windows 2.xx everything worked fine, both the
access off network drives and printing. Unfortunately this is
not the case with windows 3.0. We still can access the network
drives, although we get a message when starting the file manager
that it can't access the currently unmounted network drives, but
the real problem is that we can't get the printing to work using
PC-NFS. Has anybody had the same problem and, more importantly,
does anybody have a solution to the printer problem.

Yes, I have the same problem.  One work around is to print onto a file
and then netprint the files.  Kludgy, I know, but....

Instead of setting the printer to LPT1 use LPT1.OS2, I don't know why
but this seems to satisfy it.
