Hi Benjie,
Thank you for that - it seems obvious now I look at it, but I couldn't see it at the time. It's all working perfectly now.
Cheers,

I'm trying to set up printer sharing on my home server, and it isn't going very well. I've got printing working fine on the server itself, but I can't seem to access the printer from anywhere else. I'm not entirely sure what to check, and the various guides on the internet all seem to say different things - and the things they do say don't seem to help hugely.
