I am replacing a box that acts as a print server for a LAN consisting of 11 machines, all running centos 5.2, and occasionally a lappie or two thrown in. The new box is/was the machine I had the issue on. It now appears to be "solved" after I scp'd the config file over for the second time. Not sure what I clutzed up the first time but the config file was apparently the issue. Since I overwrote the offending config file I have no way of knowing what the difference was. Looking at the working config file it appears to me to be box stock, as was the non-working one. Thanks much for all the help and my apologies for being a bit pig-headed about the config file.
