the BRNxxxxxx is the hostname of the network card of the printer. This is
basically the same as the network name of your computer. The network card of the printer supports several methods for printing to the device. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
