a-ha! this last one has a future. did you define a domain on the machine which shares the printer? or a workgroup? you might need to supply the domain or workgroup name as part of the user-name when doing the login (i.e. in the printer configuration). try something like domain\\user (or workgroup\\user) - note the double backslash. -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
