If you use lpr type spoolers (lpr, lpr-ppd, lprng), edit /etc/printcap
Just point it to remote printer. For lpr-ppd, installing gnulpr package
will pull in printtool GUI configuration utility which should help you.
I bet others will give you suggestions to use CUPS.

First
# apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
Set up /etc/exports. Also possibly play with /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/hosts.deny

Install 2.4 kernel-image package.
# apt-get install initrd-tools
# apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.19-386
(or -686, -686-smp, -k6, -k7, -586tsc variants)
More of these basics in my document below.
