ok, this is really weird, on a hunch, i checked the other network computer; if it is on it's windoze hdd THEN i cannot access the printer, in fact it doesn't show up correctly in the list of printers, BUT if the other computer is on it's linux :) hdd THEN the printer list shows all of them correctly and i can access it and print ! I guess the simple but incorrect work around is to make sure that if i want to print my husband is not using windoze. that is just weird. Also, i did comment out that repo so that other error would stop after i did the above. thanks, -- betty i. www.webcanine.com information for people who care for dogs. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
