Now I see that you printer is not a network printer but locally attached to you FC machine. You indicate that you can't print from your Windows machine. I assume the MS Word or Notepad were on a different machine that is running Windows. So as I understand it you want to use the FC machine as a print-server for your Windows machine. Are you using samba to do the printing? Can you print to the HP Laserjet 1300 from the FC machine? I am not at all sure how print-service from a FC machine is made available to a Windows machine. If I had realized that was what you were doing I should have shut up. But I still think the answers to my questions would be helpful. -- ======================================================================= "No matter where you go, there you are..." -- Buckaroo Banzai ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
