Look for us at www.editcorp.com starting soon! ok I haven't read the install manual all the way though. but... is there a section in there on connecting & configuring the networked printers. That's one of the things I will really want to do once I get this 5.5 up and going. I have to wait for some of my 3rd party software however and I need time that I can have the system down. Since I just ordered another 4 gig I guess maybe I should wait and install the O/S and the new drive at the same time.
