Thanks to all who forwarded printer networking info. I finally got it working -- not hard at all, despite different instructions from 3 different people, all correct. Unfortunately, it works great for my hp printer, but my embosser, which is old and does not have drivers that can be used on 64 bit, won't network unless I install the drivers on the w7 machine. But that's the whole problem -- if I could have install the drivers on the new machine I wouldn't have bothered networking in the first place. So I will have to emboss manually by email. But at least I have a public printer...*smile* Thanks. --le __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
