That change corrected what ever was wrong and the printer is now installed. Who ever I stated that my reading of the printer how to did not lead me to that and it should therfore be revised to better clarifiy the driver name. Also the how to leads one to then go to web admin to add the printer and that is not needed also. Thanks for your help. -- Ralph
