Many thanks for the reply. The printer error that I get
just says Document Failed To Print. I have even tried
Notepad, when I select print it shows me the correct
network printer, I have also tried to print from Word,
Excel and even a photo. I installed the drivers the same
way on all 3 with the CD that came with the printer. hope
this helps Chuck.
