ohhhhh..... now I understand the 8/16/24 thing! (sorta) and 8 bits is the range from 0-255. so I changed the bind address to reflect the correct octet but still it does not print. I just realized something as I was returning from starbucks about 15 minutes ago. Not only did I change the user name on the XP but the ubuntu's hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall everything and then later did I notice it stopped printing. I restored it from a disk image I made of the hard drive So I would think everything would be as it was before.... but, who knows!
