Yes the printer does have the "hand" and it was working fine under 8.04.. I also do not have ability to do the workaround as my GUI does not show "windows printer via Samba"under networked printers in the system>admin>printing GUI menu.. ( why not??) The person who did the workaround used the 64 bit 9.04 version and I am on the 32 bit. Apparently the 64 bit does NOT have this bug as stated in the forums. Thanks for your kind thoughts and ideas but I am almost at the point of buying a wireless accessible printer.. as I spent too much time already on this. I have one idea that I will try and to make the windows connected printer not shared and then reboot and make it shared.. this could well be a windows problem.. it would not suprise me!! Thanks again ron Themotorman..
