printing

[Ken Gillett]

Right now I don't even have local printing running, but as I have a 
problem with the USB - parallel adapter which fails to work from either 
MacOSX or WinXP I think I need to wait until I swap it for a native USB 
printer.

In the meantime I'll try setting up printing to the ethernet Laser and 
see how that goes.
