That did the trick.

In my previous efforts,
none of the multiple-choice options involved Photosmart.
I took LaserJet because that was the suggested choice
and nothing else looked any better.

At the moment,
I don't want to open up my printer to anyone else on the internet,
so I told  the installation script no when it mentioned mDNS/Bonjour.
That might change.
If it does, I'll want to avoid letting in the whole world.
One or two IP addresses at a time should be enough.
One prospect is a Linux box on which I am not root.
The other is a Windows XP box on which I am an adminstrator.
Could someone point me at directions on how to go about it.
