Network Adding a network printer
I recently added an HP deskjet printer to our Solaris network. I deleted the old printer which this one is replacing. I did everything in Printer Admin. I could think of.

The problem now is that when I go to print something out of Star Office, my new printer is not a valid choice from the drop down list (there are 4 other printers besides this one.) the old one is still listed.

Any advice would be great.
