   I guess I can check but,,,the older printer is working.   
      
   It needed a network reboot to solve the problem,   
   The machine had a separate "reset" function that I tried first and when   
   it failed to correct the problem, I assumed the machine had failed.   
      
   It was only after scrolling through everything I could think of that I   
   found "network reboot" option.   
      
   Tech support from Brother made no mention of it.   
      
   Some day when I have nothing better to do, I will look at it again   
      
   Thanks Paul
