Haha Sorry...Guess I over-explained how the printers were hooked up. The clients are booting up as strictly LTSP clients. So yes...it is a case of installing the driver to the LTSP box. Too many thoughts at once. Thanks for the info. I guess it isn't really much harder than the HP's....I just have to wake-up. Got it printing. Thanks very much!
