More info?)
Thank you for the response. Firewall is not enabled and
notification for network printers is enabled. The
printer icon showed up by default on NT, but since
upgrading to XP, the printer icon no longer shows when
print jobs are sent. I guess its not a big deal. There
are other ways to look at the queue. But if you have any
other thoughts, they would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric W.
