-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, I got it working. Under create a port, I chose the local port option. In the port name edit box, I typed in \\linserver\raw1, and was able to successfully print a test page. This is basically the same thing I did in win98, though the way to do it under xp has changed from the way I did it in 98. Guess you learn something new everyday. Again, thanks to all for your help.
