Thanks for the info Tony however it did not solve my problem. I cannot get the system to detect the printer after I select new printer. Then I have various choices that come up and I've tried all of them. On the LPD/LPR Host or Printer it ask for Host (I enter FIT104) then Queue and I'm not sure what to put in this area.

I know this printer worked before the installation of the 8.04 OS. Sometime it will register the test page in the Manage Print Jobs...reads processing then goes to pending. I have checked all my connections several times...however, sometimes I get the error message "not connected".

Hope this information helps you to help me. Thanks again for the assist and your patience.
