Thanks for the link. I will check it out.

I've got to pound on some parts of my system to make sure its really as I think (plus some selinux / clamav / totem tests). Let me get that done, take a look at your suggestion and get back to you.
Really appreciate your taking the time to give me some ideas. Paul
Terry:
I am at least back to ground zero. Problem was that the subnetwork that the F16 machine was on made an assumption about "non-wireless" access that I had to correct. I've got it and another F14 machine on it seeing the printer and happily printing.
Okay, I've gone through the link and gotten everything on my end square for testing.
Printer is now static IP and, using "yum install system-config-print cups hpijs", I can print from any machine.
Installed hplip, hplip-gui, and xsane.
On my F14 system, I can hook up a CanoScan N1240 LIDE30 via USB and xsane works (very nicely, I might add). However, neither the F14 or F16 systems will see any printer or scanner running hp-setup or xsane. Which, in the case of the printer, is really odd as the admin->printer clearly shows the networked printer.
The new Firefox 10.0.1 on F16 almost freezes up the whole system when I try to access the scanner's ip. No such problem on F14 or XP (which are using 3.6.27). I see 10.0.2 has jsut been releases and I'll wait for it to show up via yum. Obviously, a different problem, but just makes working on this one a bit harder).
One thing I did notice was I could not find a confirm that HP 7510 was working with xsane, just a memo that it was well handled in hplip. So I figure I've got to first get hp-setup to see the 7510.
That being said, I am 100% functional for printing and, given that I only scan about 20 items a year, using the F14 or XP box is quite acceptable. Not certain if my continued effort is actually going to gain me anything except personal satisfaction.
If anyone has a HP 7510 running as networked (wireless into a router) and can run hp-setup, I'd appreciate knowing so I can see if I am missing something.
Thanks, Paul
