Since no-one has picked it up... First, that entry of ralphleft.mshome.net. It seems odd, that a computer that appears to be on a subnet called mshome.net is able to communicate at all with one called WORKGROUP. I'd look first at why it's called that, and whether you can change entries to match. Then, if you can reach the required computer by pinging, both by ip and by name, I would assume that it's not a network problem, but possibly a spooling problem. Where is the outgoing print being spooled to? Can you see the unprinted message in a spool file under /var/spool somewhere? Hope this sets off some useful thoughts for you Anne
