OK - on my system, it was really fussy about the "Share" section in the
queue type.

I hade to make it \\SERVER\Printer_Share

so in my case, it was \\PEBBLES\Xerox
where Pebbles is the name of the computer
and Xerox is the name of the printer share on the computer named Pebbles
you could probably just put guest and no password in the appropriate
areas - depending upon how you have the printer sharing configured,
otherwise you would need a valid user/password combination for the
Windows Domain.
