Eric, If I were smart I would give up now and quit showing my ignorance by not being able to help you, but I'm not. ;-) I've used network printers for years and have never had a problem. I assume that the responses above are for lp1 and that you can ping 192.168.1.printer_ip and the mac is the correct one (want to be sure the packets are going where we think they are going.) netstat -nr will give you that one. Unfortunately, these have always worked out of the box for me so I have no experience troubleshooting them. The worst case for me has been that you need a windows box to set dhcp with propriatary software:) sorry, P.S. Did you try to print the test page from apsfilter? Can the windows boxes access it through the ip? (looking for the needle in the haystack.) _________________________________________________________________ Make your home warm and cozy this winter with tips from MSN House & Home. http://special.msn.com/home/warmhome.armx
