This is why it so so hard to debug other peoples setups. They are so different. On my computers, I have the home dir on a server and use NFS to mount to each computer. This is probably a common setup. We did this routinely with UNIX machines back in the 1980s so that people can walk up to any computer in the building, log-on, and all your files would be there. Set it up with automount. This works for Macs too as as Mac OS is BSD UNIX That said, my printers both are not set up like yours. They are WiFi printers so there is no need to set them up as "shared" because the server runs inside the $80 printer/scanner. > > > The printers are marked as shared, and usable by me, and work locally. > > > > > Cheers, Gene Heskett > > > > Cheers, Gene Heskett > > > Cheers, Gene Heskett > -- > "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: > soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
