It is perhaps worth bearing in mind that demon.ip.support.win95 is a
newsgroup for helping people with Internet Protocol (ip) questions about
connecting to Demon Internet.

On the client machine, check the name of printer is correct. The
updated drivers may have changed the name and port of the printer on
the server machine. (The server is the one the printer is attached to)

It may be easiest to delete the printer from the client machine start
\ settings \ printers and then re-install it using the network browser
to find the correct port.

Thank you Denis for your help. In view of the welcome that I have received
from other posters I think in future, with your permission, I'll converse
with you directly via email. Again thanks for your civil reply.
