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.

Thanks for the help from:
