I usually configure it so that these sorts of devices are addressed by IP address. i.e. lpd://192.168.0.5/printer-queue-name For home networks, since it is easier than remembering to hack the hosts file, especially if they upgrade the PC they are more likely to find the printer settings in a GUI somewhere. Of course that assumed you know which question was asking for the host name of the device, which isn't always easy to spot. I mean these days I never know which password GNOME is asking me for, my own, or root's, since they insist on using other terminology which is pretty meaningless to me. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
