Wow! Woke up this morning and fired up the printer expeecting to continue the saga. Looked over and what did I see..... A shinny blue light peaking back at me.
Don't know how, but some of the changes I made last hight (per you'all's suggestions) seemed to have kicked in. Not sure whey it did it wouldn't work last night but did this morning, but i think I'll leave that horses mouth shut.
Thank you all. I'm quite sure that this is because of your help.
