Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions, the folks on this
list are great as always.

I don't remember seeing any check boxes when selecting local, but I
wasn't specifically looking for one either. I'll go through this
again, and see what happens. The only ports I saw in the list of ports
when doing a local install was lpt1-3, com1-4, and print to
file. Again, I'll look for the check box that Sina mentioned, and see
what there is to see.

The network is configured just fine on the xp system in question. I
can access the net, as well as regular file shares from my samba box
just fine.

My printer is a very old one. It's an Hp laserjet 5l-xtra, and I have
the newest drivers for it according to hp's site. Again, thanks to all
for your help.

Greg
