there were many duplicates and here is the summary;
1) the PC needs to run PC-NFS as a printer server to work this way if the printer is hooked-up to the PC;
2)PC-NFS includes an LPD compatible print server, that needs to run on the
PC. Have you configured and started it?
I`ve tried to run the lpd server on the PC, but I got only the message:
PC_NFS print server message #82.
