2) when I try to print a test page it says that I need to enable bio directional support under the Ports tab in the printers properties. I do this click apply and the option clears itself.

3) I am using the latest driver downloaded from the internet.

sounds like a Vista problem not aprinter problem. See if u can isolate the problem by printing something as simple as a txt doc, but then enter the ip off the printer

If you can do that , then at least u know its comunicatin to the pc over the lan.

If not then its something to do with that steaming pile of brown stuff u have on ur pc called Vista .

I would assume this as its not allowing you to store the printer as a added device. You should only have to add it once and then the printer software does the rest as it normally would
