    Thanks, Kappy. I tried that first, but didn't have the right driver on my other computer. I'm 81 years old, computer upstairs and iBook and printer downstairs, so I had trouble checking progress. It's frustrating to forget such simple things when I used to know enough to write the manuals. Aby way, it's great to have folks like you to help us out when we get in a bind.
