Ok, I got it working. Under create a port, I chose the local port
option. In the port name edit box, I typed in \\linserver\raw1, and
was able to successfully print a test page. This is basically the same
thing I did in win98, though the way to do it under xp has changed
from the way I did it in 98. Guess you learn something new
everyday. Again, thanks to all for your help.
