Alan,

After month of having to transfer my work from my Vista machine to my XP
machine to print you solved the problem!!! I enabled the LPR Byte Counting
Enabled option and that did the trick.

FYI I am not kidding when I say that I spent 30 hours on the phone with HP
trying to get this worked out including waiting 2 week while HP support
waited for a response from their "printer group". Samsung tech people only
took one day in their driver group to tell me that they could not do
anything.

Thanks again. I can finally start to use my Vista machines like they are
fully functional network computers.
