Fortunately, the problem seems to have been a printer-side one rather than client-side. The IT guys did some fiddling with the printer settings (they have been changing the network all around over the last few weeks and some things are flakey). Today I was able to set up the printers with printerdrake using "remote lpd". I utilized the method mentioned by another on this list, placing the printer ip address in the host field and my user name in the queue name field. Now the printer works. What a relief. praedor
