That works fine if the printers use static IP's and are *NOT*
configured with LPR/LPD.
If bootp is used to assign IP's, you'll also need:
/etc/bootptab
You should only have one bootp server online at a time, so comment out
the sections in the old /etc/bootptab if both machines are going to be
online at the same time.
If LPR/LPD is used, you'll also need:
/usr/spool/lpd/*
/etc/printcap
