eamjr56: I also am amazed at the support from HP. Recalling the days some 12 years ago, and so many hoops to jump through and then only to get an HP printer to work partially. What was curious about this, I had used HPLIP. Somehow, all of a sudden, all printers were seen as network printers. Either I did a dumb thing of collossal proportions, or some update wrote over the top of my config files. What I now suspect is that I had consented to let dispatch-conf replace my original config file, not understanding the consequences. Live and learn, Alan
