This particular printer has a "remote" power option similar to the Wake On
Lan.  I know it works because the XPP box can be powered off and I can send
a "print job" from the W98SE box and the printer powers up to print out my
documents.

I'm going to remove the Share on the printer, reboot the XPP, reestablish
the Share for the printer and see if that will make any difference...

           Cheers ... Gerald
