Easy no! > That's why I'm tearing my hair, Aaron. That is exactly the way I did it, the first time around. It's what I've always done before, and it has always worked, but it didn't this time round. I don't even know whether the present method is working properly. From the laptop I can see the printers and print to them. This box still has some samba issues that I need to look at tomorrow, and it could be that the lack of printer connections from this box are also mis-configuration. If the worst comes to the worst I'll delete the server-config-printer profiles and start all over again. Anne
