Hi Tate & all,

I stayed within Gnome and the printer setup, used the JetDirect, LAN ip, 
port 9100..

I then, in Gnome > My Computer > Files Sytem, opened a text file by 
double clicking,. The gedit window with the file was displayed. I 
selected Print on the top tool bar, and the printer I just added was 
highlighted. When I clicked Print, my printer came to life and I got my 
page printed!!

Wonderful guys! Thanks.....   Again!

Robbie
