[QUOTE="wmprice1240, post: 939766, member: 99551"] Actually, it sounds to me like it's your printer and that's the default name your DHCP enabled router is giving the printer since it probably doesn't have a host name. For non MulticastDNS or Bonjour hosts, entries in the Finder Sidebar tend to stay around for longer periods of time. You could always verify this by checking your router to see what IP it has given your printer via your DHCP clients table and then map that back against the device. Again, this would be my guess given the generic host name but it never hurts to check. [/QUOTE]
