Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried doing this, I shortened the name
of the printer to raw1750 with no spaces, underscores or dashes and
now it shows up when I try to browse for it.  However, I am still
unable to print.  I am very busy this week, but I will keep trying, I
will examine the logs and see if I can find out what the problem is,
probably post more questions next week.

Thanks for all the help.
