We are running a similar setup here. About 15 XT clones tied into
an Encore UMAX running BSD 4.2  We are using version 3.0 of PC-NFS.

We too have run into printing problems. Multimate Advantage II will
not print correctly. Wordstar 2000 Plus will not even run on an NFS
drive. (drive D: or above)

We have been in touch with different people (I do not think it would
be fair to mention names since we are working on getting the problem
resolved) and soo far have had no luck. About the best thing I can
say to do is to have the file sent to a ascii text file instead of
a printer and then use net print to print that out.
