Warren, I do now, no joy. Kent, The Mac is using CUPS to print. Below is an excerpt from /private/var/log/cups/error_log. I had to set the log level to 'debug' to get this. ...

And the next line: [Job 17] lpd_command returning 108 Don't get too excited, though. I still don't know what to tell the printer setup utility in OS X. I've tried IP Printing, and LPD printing, with no joy. I've told lpd on the FreeBSD box to use "-W" (accept connections on any port), cause the Mac is trying to connect on port 631. I'M SO CONFUSED!! SOMEBODY GIVE ME A D-LINK DP-300U FOR CHRISTMAS!! http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=166
