[Macinsloan] Re: Printer setup

[John Harthorne]

Jeff,

I had a similar complaint from somebody else, so I double checked my  
settings.

Turns out, I think I sent out the wrong instructions for that  
printer. Sorry.

Try setting it up as an LPD printer, instead of an IP printer. Please  
let the group know if that solves the problem.

Once again, sorry for the confusion. I had some trouble setting up  
printers initially too, and I had several pages of notes on what I  
had tried -- guess I included the wrong instructions for that  
printer. I believe the others are correct. Please let me know if you  
are having troubles with them too.

Thanks for the heads up.

- John
