The easiest way to do this would be to use 'smit'.

enter smit, then select 'communication applications and services'
            then        'NFS'
            then        'Network File System'
            then        'Configure NFS'
            then        'Start NFS'
This should cause NFS to be restarted automatically on each boot.

For the spooler, from the top level menu of smit:
select 'Spooler (print jobs...)'
then   'Manage remote printer subsystem'
then   'client services'
then   'remote printer queues'

Smit is pretty good, but it can not do everything (it doesn't support all
possible options) :-(  You should also be able to bypass smit and use your
familiar methods to configure your machine.

Two words of warning 1) I am NOT a configuration expert.
                     2) You can sometimes get yourself in trouble if you try
                        to configure something using a mix of smit and the
                        'traditional' methods.

I hope this helps.
