Hi Alex,

I would agree except when I select Change Device URI (hmm should that
be URL?) I select SMB Printer . . . I can browse for it and Verify =
Verified This printer is accessible.
At that point I click apply but in the Printer Configuration -
localhost the Apply button is still grayed out. I checked the
permission (print sharing) on the XP box . . . its okay. Strange . . .
