Hi Denny,
Well, the printing seem to work without much effort. However, for what we need to do, I will have to setup the IPP printing protocol. I would like to go back and setup the IPP printing portion. I will gather the printer info and the host info and e-mail it to you for verification.
Please let me know if that would work for you.
Thanks,
AP
