Re: printing problem on samsung laser printer

thanks larry.

for a while i thought the discussion email address i was using was bogus.

why? because gmail does not post mail to the std "inbox" from plug mail.
when i send the
email, it puts a copy on the "send" box. i can see that email was sent, but
it never showed
up in "inbox" coming from the plug.

maybe it is a function of the list mail software to broadcast to list but
not
to sender (in initial post).

if i manage to fix my printer problem, i will post the solution and all is
gory details.

david

ps i went to the plug web site and found all the posts. sorry gals-guys for
not thinking
of this earlier.
