I can see now why I was not find the same uri that you were
pointing to
I was using System -> administration -> printing instead of
Localhost:631, because when I did try I could never get past the user &
PW, but the other way I have no problem the PW is OK. since going from
the menu it only ask for PW and going from localhost:631 ask for user &
PW, I suspect that I am entering a wrong user name. Is there way to find
out the correct user name?

PSE6D76B came from the printer server when was installed in windows
It is also in
the printer server label
