Praedor, Click directly on on of the printers you have "installed" then chose Printer connection type... change it from whatever it is to printer on remote ldp server.... reconfig and it should be working (had to do this with a wireless print server in our office.) One point to note uncheck the auto-detect. I've found it less than optimal keeps wanting to change it to cups. This page also gives you the ability to remove a printer. James
