Can the windows > boxes access it through the ip? (looking for the needle in the haystack.) Lee, Thanks for the help. I've found I don't care about looking ignorant anymore because of some of the questions I've asked in here... I know I can ping the print server, and I know I've got the right IP address as this printer server has a built-in webpage for configuration. Also, it has the capability of configuration via tftp. Out of the box you type a # arp -s # tftp get config.txt You fill in the appropriate fields for configuration, and put the config.txt file back on the print server with # tftp put config.txt So, really this is a pretty advanced little monster. I _can_ print from the windows boxes, as they're using the lpr system as well. I set them up this way so I could be sure that the lpr/lpd settings on this devil worked. As far as the apsfilter test page, it works via parallel connection, but I cannot print it to the printer via the nework. I'm almost thinking at this point I need to contact the tech support personnel over at Zero One. They've been a help in the past when the windows driver didn't want to install right away.

I purchased this print server specifically because it doesn't need a windows box running or doesn't require SMB. The application is for use with my laptop, which dual boots to windows and freebsd. This printer is located in a different part of my home and I'm avoiding having it become dependent on a computer again.
