- What you describe is a great idea. I would like to see it happen.
- Unfortunately, the way I see things working is that using NET PRINTERS
- without giving a hostname uses the name of the machine which LPT1 was
- mounted from, regardless of the current PCNFSD server. If there is no
- LPT1: mounted, the command fails.
-
- If this is not the case, please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

- Thanks!
