Brand and type? Is this a 'Win' printer/scanner? Example I have an
All-In-One from HP (cheapy, under $100 from Office **) it requires
resources from Windows to function. I can get to the printer over the net,
but all the rest is on the one PC, in my case it is explained in the
documention for the gadget. I can print to the fax, but the computer it is
directly attached to pops up a Window that needs keystrokes so...

My point is, do you have a similar device?

fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.
