Thanks Jim. Your advice was very helpful. I'm printing now. I think I'll stay on 4.0.1 for now till I get the hang of this.

If you aren't running 4.1.1, then just try setting PRINTER_1_TYPE = P to see if lp_server is running, try this from the server: telnet ws202 9100 If it connects, then you should be able to type some lines of text, and hit Ctrl-L to eject the page.
