It gets worse (or better)...

When I went to test this out on another Machine (7200/90), I changed the Appletalk port to the printer and closed the window, crash... Everytime you opened and closed the AppleTalk CP, even without changing anything crash. A reinstall of the system fixed that.

Meanwhile back on my machine (Centris + PowerPC card) I had decided to see if the TCP/IP option "load when needed" made any difference. So I unchecked it and tried OPO, no difference in behaviour (ok). I put AT to the printer port, and... OK!

"Miraculously" AT/TCP settings now doesn't affect OPO behaviour! Back to work...

Sigh,
Peter
