following Loopman's instructions, the boxes are now being seen by the server with their new IP addresses.

But, I can't print to any of them. For instance, while at the server, I tried to print test pages to all 3 printers connected to one box. All of the printouts came out of the same printer. I WAS selecting the 3 different ports invididually on the server when printing the test page, but they all came out of the printer connected to port 1.

I also tried installing a 'new' printer on the server to these ports, then adding this 'new' printer from the workstations, but I couldn't get any printouts after this either.

Is there another step that needs to be done that I'm not doing?
