Windows usually had no problem, FreeBSD with CUPS usually failed. I finally gave the printer a static IP set up in my router. I then shut down the entire system and printer, rebooted and checked to see what the printer reported as its IP. MS Windows now found the printer and offered to install a driver for it. CUPS took more manual coaching, but I was able to get it to see and print to the printer. HTH -- Jerry -- Jerry
