I haven't followed your setup closely, but don't these two lines potentially conflict? By that I mean, if you are using DHCP, what assures that debian1 is always at 192.168.2.48? And if its not, then mac will try to resolve to that address because its in /etc/hosts, while meanwhile, the router has a different address for that name? >To make sure such got completely "into" the system I > booted from another volume and cleared the caches on my working volume, > repaired permissions, verified the volume (and even double checked it > with DiskWarrior to make sure I didn't screw anything up).

I spent a couple hours trying to share a Mac printer with a win box (ugh) and gave up, but one thing that I kept running across was the need to create an extra queue on the Mac strictly for the winblows box to use. Might you need a similar setup on debian1? create an additional instance of the printer just for the mac to use. my out-of-left-field thoughts A > > I'm increasingly aware of one reason I retired :-))) > > Thanks for your interest, > Lee C > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
