That's a UNC path to a printer that's shared via SMB (the machine name's weird enough, though...0258W0823679?). IIRC, Samba is included with Mac OS X, so there's probably something along the lines of "connect to a Windows printer" in printer settings that'll do what you want. (My printers are shared through LPR instead of SMB, so I've not tried this myself...but my G3 has no trouble accessing files on any of my Win32 or Linux boxen through SMB.) _/_ Scott Alfter (address in header doesn't receive mail) / v \ send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ pkill -9 /bin/laden >What is the most annoying thing on Usenet? -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
