RE: Network printer setup with CUPS

Thanks for all the help guys, I found out where the problem was - the 
Netport Express itself. It has issues. Even though it allows printing from 
the entire MS Windoze network, it still has problems. The button on the 
side to print a test page results in no test page, the web interface 
button to print a test page results in no test page, and making any 
changes at all in the config from the web interface just locks it up. Even 
my spare, old Netport Express has the same issues. I replaced it with a 
spare Lexmark MarkNet box and everything is fine now.
