Thank's George, Pax and Vince, I've spent a lot of time at "discussions.info.apple" looking for just such a scenario, and the evidence seems to point to those very problems with 10.3.6 the "Windows Printing" dialog is whacked ... I've had the 2 machines "Networked" for some time now, but printing from the PC never happened, I'd use the Adobe Distiller driver on the PC for "printing" and sharing a document. The 2 printers "were" accessible to the S900 via USB (Epson) and a mini print server (Laserjet). I thought I'd have an easy time with this, go figure! Regards, Phil Meza
