ACtually...I don't have a clue as to what the problem was with the printer.  All I know is that I have the other cable on and the original drivers.  I will let this run for a while like this just to make sure that there are no hiccups...and then I may play with the new drivers to see if I get an error.  I know I can always get back to a stable system (boy...that sounds pretty bold considering I am talking about "blue screen of death" windows...).

I have been so busy trying to get everything up and running stable that I still have not tried much with the burner. If it weren't midnight here I would give it a shot tonight.  Couldn't sleep...I was in bed at about 10 and tossed and turned. Once my wife was asleep I came down to work on this some more.  Had to wait until my son was finished "playing".  He has a think for Final Fantasy and a couple of online things.  Wish I could get him to spend equal time looking for a college (one more year of high school and it's "empty nest" time).

ANy suggestions on what I should begin with on the burner.  I have never had one before so I'm a bit unsure where to start.  I suppose I could copy some music disks to start with.  I have 50 CDRs on the way.  The TDK came with 2 CDRs and 1 CD-RW.  Plus I bought a ten pack of CDRs from Target, so I have some to get started with.  What do you suggest I start with?  Any hints on the nero software?  By the way, do you know of any good Napster alternatives.  I am really into Jazz and New Age music.

Thanks for the replys and the advice! ;D
