WOW!! What a difference! I did that on machine #2 (only, so far). When I click on Printers, I see what the machine thinks are *nine* : my wife's downstairs is there twice, once as itself and once with "-fax" appended to it. All the other seven are my one machine, once as default with my name for the machine it's on, but no IP; the others have either an IP or some other indication where they are; I'm seeing it double on #1 (as default and not), and double on #4 (with its same correct IP both times, not together); sometimes it shows as published, sometimes not. I tried to print the router's table, with IP and MAC numbers, from a browser (Konqueror, despite the fact i run Gnome); but it just asked me if the printer were connected. Iiuc, I should go do the same on the other two clients (machine #3 and #4, no printer attached), but *not* on #1, which does have the printer, and must therefore be acting as the server.
