Solved! Re: Quadtone RIP for WinXP: "Some level of networking" Question

2004-08-10 by slalred

Chris,

Your suggestion worked exactly as described.  I connected to the 
Group to check for messages, saw yours, and since the printer, etc., 
was still set up from yesterday's attempt I gave it a go.

Voila'!  A print!

So -- should you find yourself in the Washington, DC, Metro area 
drop me a line: I owe you a nice cold beverage!  I don't even want 
to think about what you went through to uncover this gem.

Thanks,

Steve Alred
