I ran the "lpstat -h 192.168.0.2 -l -v" command on the client and got the same 'connection was refused' message. Ran the 'lpstat -l -v' command on the server and got: device for deskjet-5550-2: usb:/dev/usb/lp0 I haven't tried the ipp or http settings you previously mentioned but it would appear to me that the client is having the trouble, not necessarily the server. Is that correct? Steve
