hmmm, I didn't know there was a patch for that, thanks.

yep, after a bit of fiddling I finally got os9 to print. My main
problem was fiddling with dns until some combination worked.
(my local system is weird, I have a local nameserver set up to
resolve my local network names and something didn't cooperate
until there were names and reverse lookups for the ip addresses
in use.)

Until I fiddled with the above, I had the same things happening.

I couldn't find anything like that myself...
