Solution:
Besides proper exporting of the directory, the following NFS Daemons need to be
running:
biod
rpc.statd
rpc.lockd
for a NFS client.
nfsd
rpc.mountd
for a NFS server in addition to those required for a client.
Workstation A happened to be configured as a client in its boot scripts.
I was able to get it working by executing:
rpc.mountd -n
as root.
Some point out that I can reboot the printer after creating the exports file and
let the scripts start all the necessary daemons.
