Larry, The first, and safest option worked like a charm - many, many thanks. Once the printer installed I was able to research the original printing problem that caused me to uninstall it on the first place, which was I had to change the preferences to print RAW instead of LPR. I've never had to do that before and I have no idea what the two options are, but it's working and I am grateful.
Yes it is Brian... Brim is a throw back to a company that I worked at for 27 years, before they said thanks and let me go. They had email way back before the widespread use of the Internet and free email accounts.In fact they made a lot of money selling email as a product. In the beginning when it was just internal you were limited to a 4 character email address, something to do with Bytes or double words or maybe nibbles for the other oldies on the list, often times your email address turned into your nickname. Too much information again, and drat, I've dated myself as well. Stewart, thanks for your reply too, the print server doesn't have any software but relies on Windows add a printer to work with it via the TCP/IP address and port name. Thanks again Larry.
