LOL - problems with printing are often solved by reinstalling the printer, whichever way you're printing. I never did find out why I had a problem on one MDV box printing to another, but deleting the printers and setting them up again in MCC completely cured it, so I guess it was something similar to your problem. Glad you got it sorted. Anne
