Herb,

After posting to the group, I figured that the printer name was not correct, and have
subsequently been able to print from Windows. One further problem has arisen though, and 
that is it seems for Windows to take a long time to let me select the printer and then print, 
resulting in the app appearing to not respond. Once the print job is sent, it is printed fine,
but it appears that printing to my users is "slow".

Any ideas?
