More info?)
I don't think it would affect it, as even if you used UPNP to discover
the Printer. TCP/IP takes over from there and does the transmission and
recieving by IP.
I tried it, and for the last two reboots all of my Icons work. But it
could be just part of the % of the time that it does. I will try rebooting
and working over the next day and see how it turns out.
Thank you,
David Rios
