Thanks a lot Robert,

After reading your message I tried NET USE on the W95 Laptop and it
didn't know what I was talking about.   ;-]

Talking about the CX3810 I had trouble when I wanted to make a two sided
printout on one sheet of paper.

Before I could get the paper out of the paper exit tray it grabbed
another sheet of paper and started printing on it.

After that happened I looked for a "On Line" button but there wasn't
any to press.

I finally figured out what to do though.

When I know I am wanting to print something on both sides of the paper I
only have one sheet of paper loaded in the paper tray, when that one is
ejected and the CX3810 finds it is out of paper, I get an error message
asking me to load some paper in, and to click a Continue button on the
screen or press the Color button on the top of the all in one.

That gives me pleanty of time to put the first page printed back in the
paper loading tray so I can get what I want done.
