Bob, I stopped the firewall on both computers, opened the server sharing to 'all hosts' then rebooted. After that I received a 'connection refused' message using the command: telnet 192.168.0.2 631 http://localhost:631 in Firefox (on the server) shows a happy little deskjet-5550-2 ready to go. http://localhost:631 in Firefox (on the client) shows: Use system-config-printer to edit this! Location: hp on sjc Printer State: processing, accepting jobs. "Network host '192.168.0.2' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds..." Device URI: http://192.168.0.2:631/printers/deskjet-5550-2 What's interesting to me is that this device URI shows http. In the print config GUI, I've selected IPP with only 192.168.0.2 in the Server field. I don't know what to do about this. Apparantly it's stumping several of you smart guys. Hmm...... what about the firewall built into the Netgear router? It was never an issue when I had SuSE 9.1 but could it play into this at all? Steve
