Sorry, I was using 'PC' to mean 'computer'. I don't use any Windows 
computers. They are all linux. I'm printing over the network okay - it's 
just that I can't make /another/ 'printer' (configuration). So, I think 
it's syntax/configuration (uri name et al). I doubt I am missing any 
services/daemons as I am printing okay - it's just that I can't 
configure another 'printer'.

Thanks.
