--------------------------------------------------------- I got my printer configured and working. I tried unplugging the usb cable from the computer port and plugging it back in.....that didn't help, but I tried plugging it into my other usb port...presto! I was able to configure the printer w/PrinterDrake, and it is now functioning OK. I wonder why the first port was not acceptable?? It was working there in Mdk 8.2. Seems strange that the installer didn't offer to configure my printer :-/ It works now anyway. ;-) --Angus "This is the Earth School......always in session.
