Thanks,
itwasme. Yes, I did read that in your first post, but didn't take on board the full implication.
Actually, one of the attractions of the Netgear device is that it does do "better" than that. It doesn't ask who's in possession - it just sees a print command - and if there's more than one, then it queues 'em, like a good'un. So, it's back to the Netgear ps for our routine stuff (I did typo then 'routing' - the great thing is we don't have to worry about routes or ownership nor nuffin - it just works transparently: hence my disappointment with the TP device.)
I will still use the TP for stuff like the scanner and photo printer and an extra webcam, in which Mrs jtr has no interest.
As for shouting at one another... the muttering's bad enough, thank you very much
.
Thanks anyway.
