It's bridged. everything else we've tried works, e.g., firefox, ssh.
I explicitly opened 631 in the firewall and when that didn't help I
completely disabled the firewall, which still didn't help.
weird thing is that (as I said in the original posting, but which seems
to have been deleted by someone else before this branch/thread appeared)
is that it works FINE if I set it up as a jetdirect (port 9100) printer.
