Yes I have been waiting ten years. Well not really L.O.L. But this computer is just a workstation. The printer is connected to a server and all computers are connected thru a router Linksys WRT54G. The computer I use I try to print something and it takes forever I wait and wait sometimes 2 hours sometimes 3 or 4 and sometimes 5 to 30 mins. Not sure what is going on. I unhook all computers and print and still takes 10 years.
