Sorry, Paul, I thought I'd made clear that that is exactly what I did. The error 'bad printer name' comes back from the running print server and is echoed to the terminal. The full output is: Satatus Information: sending job 'nick at adamselene+405' to Brother:@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 'localhost' requesting printer Brother:@localhost job 'nick at adamselene+405' transfer to Brother:@localhost failed error 'NONZERO RFC1179 ERROR CODE FROM SERVER' with ack 'ACK_FAIL' sending str '^Brother:' to Brother:@localhost error msg: 'bad printer name' Hope that helps.
