Changed the subject line to reflect the current discussion.
Hopefully folks are using email clients that are capable of true threading and not 
subject based grouping ;-)

Ok.. what should you set the Server and Printer to?

I have a network printer which under win-2k->start->settings->printers->
shows up as "pi2-b5 on print-rtp-pi"

Can I use the network printer?

BTW I cannot get gsprint to work either... I'll keep at it I'm sure it will work
with some tweaking.

Thanks,
