Thanks for all the info guys.

Although only scored 530 in the geek test (including the 400 bonus) 
-thank goodness! Feeling quite pleased with myself as I have just 
connected up with a D-Link print server so that I can share the printer 
with my son's XP box. In fact, the CUPS setup was much easier than than 
Windows - no Wizard needed on Linux! - only two boxes to fill in, once 
you find out which two!

Next, update graphics driver...

Thanks,

John
