Problem Description: 

     When the PC-NFS printer server utility PCNFSLPD is started, the
     names of any remote printers that are mounted by the PC are lost
     (until PCNFSLPD is unloaded).  This can cause problems, since the
     lpr command used by the PC-NFS support daemon to print the PC
     output is getting passed a "-P" argument without a valid printer
     name following.

     Note: This problem only occurs on PC-NFS installations that have
     applied the PC-NFS jumbo patch (CTE PatchID #100287).  If the
     system is running the original (v3.5) release of PC-NFS, it will
     not experience this problem.


Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
    - On the PC with PC-NFS installed, unload PCNFSLPD (if loaded).

    - In the directory where PC-NFS is installed (typically C:\NFS),
      COPY the existing LPD.EXE to a backup file (such as LPD.BAK).

    - COPY the new LPD.EXE file into the PC-NFS directory, replacing
      the old file.

    - When PCNFSLPD is restarted, it will use the new LPD.EXE, which
      does not overlay the remote printer names.


Special Install Instructions: 
-----------------------------
None.
