How do I tell if I have Potato or Slink?
I'm trying to print from Netscape & Adobe applications.
The printer is a networked printer HP Laserjet 5SiMX.
It has a jetdirect card and I beleive it has an LP Daemon running
as I am able to print to it using TCP/IP printing in NT 4.0
If you need more info., let me know.
Tony.
