Printer Issue

[Stephen S. Disbrow]

Hi,
    Thanks to all who responded to my plee for help. I finally got it 
working. The print server is a Netgear Ps121, and I used port p1 which is 
what windows used to set it up. The printer is an HP Photo Smart D7360, 
which was not a choice so I picked Photo Smart D7300. Need less to say I was 
able to do it from the GUI, and it is  working now. Again Thanks to all who 
helped me !!!

Steve D.
