*sigh*
neither proposed solutions worked. i fear that there's an os update in my future. where "fear" == a hassle to get it from the school i'm at being i am away doing fieldwork.
Hey, thanks for getting back to me!
Ah, you're right. I assumed that it was parallel cable since it wasn't a USB.
It is shared accross a network. I think this issue might have more to do with my machine than anything since my system prefs > printer & fax are wayyyy slower than is normal.
Hello, I have a similar problem.
The printer is HP LaserJet 1320tn - it is networked via parallel printer cable.
I have the IP for both the printer and the server from which the print jobs are queued. Pinging these shows that I am indeed "talking" to the printer, and yet it does not show up...
