Digital BW, The Print

I can't go as far as purchasing a print server since I only have one
computer. But I did enter QTR and QTRgui as exceptions in SP2
firewall. I tried entering the host and shared names manually but
nothing is working. I'll probably have to bite the bullet and buy
Imageprint tomorrow. Ouch.
