Is this line needed in /etc/exports for anything other and printing (I presume)
/var/spool/lpd *(rw)
I scan reported this: Vulnerability Details Date: Sun 11 Jan 2009 21:26:56 MET Vuln#: 100103 Vulnerability: successfully mounted /var/spool/lpd ToDo: *_/Restrict nfs export to dedicated hosts or netgroups/_* CertRef: M478100 Tool Reference: ISS 79 Comment: Counted in: Monitor: End of Vulnerability Details
Can I remove it?

Ask the person who put it there; it's not there by default :-)
Printing doesn't need it. I can't think of _anything_ that would need that specific directory exported. Indeed, it could cause problems if two different machines tried to write to it at the same time.
