Actually it does clarrify things The problem is that you need to say that the printer is local, ok? Then shift+tab up, and select the checkbox that doesn't say use one of the following ports ... It's like, make a new port or create a new port. Then you hit next or whatever ... Like you said, you know what's going on, and then when you get to the next combo box, you go to the very bottom, which has standard tcp/ip port ... Select that sucker, give it an IP and a name ... And you're good to go.

Subject: Re: Ot, getting win xp working with a samba printer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If I knew why I couldn't install the printer, I would not be asking for help here. Also, I understand the procedure of installing a printer under windows. If I in fact try to install this printer driver as a local printer, supposedly connected to lpt1 (which is just pretend in this case of course), the printer installs just fine. The problem happens when I try to install the printer as "a network printer, or a printer attached to another computer". Hope that clarifies things a bit more.
