Our department has been running PC-NFS for some time now.  We're hooked togetherby an ethernet LAN.  Now, we are getting Windows in and I'm having trouble
getting it to work.  I can't seem to print to our network printers.  Windows
comes back and says "having trouble writing LPT1:" (or something like that).
Having never had this problem before, I suspect something is wrong between
Windows and NFS.

I know NFS isn't "supported" by windows 3.0.  However, I still don't know
why print manager can't write to lpt1 and lpt1 to our server spool queue,
like we have been doing.  Has anyone out there installed windows on
a PC and had similar experience?  Did you get it fixed?

Please keep your answers simple, as I'm not a technician.
