It uses the IE connection tab to insert the IP address and port for the "proxy" server in the other computers on the network. The network was just set up with the TCP/IP properties, etc. and was working ok until this "printing" problem. Then I found the other Events in Event viewer in the server. That is what I considered the other problems. If you will tell me what other information would help I will find it. I appreciate anything you can do.
