The screen says > "recommended" > > thanks > > tonydm Well that depends/ You seem to be saying that you have a print server that is actually doing the printing. You want to set up a machine so it will print to the hplj4000 through this server. Our experience is that one way is to choose UNIX-LPD printing. Make the queue name the name of the queue on the server. As to driver don't choose the specific printer but use the Postscript option on the Generic printer list. -- ======================================================================= An office party is not, as is sometimes supposed the Managing Director's chance to kiss the tea-girl.
