- Subject: HELP: Can't mount printers
- Date: 18 Nov 1992 12:35:39 -0600
- Organization: Coffee R Us
- Lines: 39
- Distribution: world
- Message-ID: <lgl37rINNm4q@ai.cs.utexas.edu>

-
- PC-NFS 4.0 refuses to mount a printer, with the diagnostic message:
-
- NFS040F : The specified file system is not local to server mundo.
-
- This is after I give the command:
-
- net use lpt2: mundo:lw_3.138 /cmd=h /fmt=p /wsize=1024
-
- Attempting to mount the printer from nfsconf fails with the diagnostic
- message:
-
- NFS157F : The mount request failed.
-
- A "net printers" gives the diagnostic message:
-
- NFS228F : Can't get printers from server
-
- However, a "net printers mundo" gives a complete and correct list of
- printers. Also, there are no problems with mounting file systems,
- either from the command line or under nfsconf.
-
- The DOS side: Compaq LTE/Lite 25, DR-DOS 6.0, MemoryMax memory
- management, SuperStor disk compression, 4 Mb RAM, 60 Mb HD.
-
- The Unix side: Sun SPARCserver 670MP, SunOS 4.1.2, no patches, pcnfsd
- version 2.0, all printers are remote, /usr/spool/pcnfs is a local
- drive (this is our file server).
-
- I'm at my wits end, could someone please post some hints for what I
- should try or look for? I don't understand why I am receiving a
- filesystem diagnostic for print sharing operations. This is fairly
- important to me, since if I can't get this to work, our department
- will just look elsewhere for NFS/print-sharing solutions, and I don't
- want to go with any other product.
