Thanks for that Clive,

I have actually tried than and 127.0.0.1       localhost.ariestao 
localhost and many combinations thereof.

I don't think this is fixable on this system for some reason. So I will have
to keep printing with Windows and Mandrake.

Bad luck, but thanks for trying. I probably will keep trying too.

Charlie
