networked to a windows printer

Yesssss!

First, set up your printer here: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:addwindowsprinter

If necessary, resolve a bidirectional printing problem here: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=8548.

I had a bunch of junk clogging up the print queue. A couple of the files were real stubborn, so I got out the bazooka:

From the Start menu:

Run
CMD
NET STOP SPOOLER
cd \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\spool\PRINTERS
del *.spl
del *.shd
NET START SPOOLER
exit

Now I will see if I can get the Compaq connected to the printer.
