Hi Arriyel

I'm reasonably confident I will be testing your memory here but I made sorting this printer problem a low priority after some other things blew up. So here I am again, have reinstalled the printers & rebooted but still only 4 available and none of them are the 2 I need. Any more ideas?

Not ideal and we have some print jobs which print once to each of our 2 real printers. (The others include the fax printer and 11 are for the generation of graphics files which are sent electronically to the printers)
