Terry:

Thanks for reply. I fired off the command in a terminal, it put up a 
gui, and I worked from there. All the output in the terminal was jsut 
confirmation that it could find anything.

I don't see anything for man hp-setup. I do get some info with hp-setup 
--help, so when I run with '-i', give a '1' for 
Network/Ethernet/WIreless, it comes back with the same info "error: no 
device selected/specified or that supports this functionality".

Your email came in during the middle of a yum update to my F16 box so I 
can try it (and a few other tests on things that needed fixing). 
Hopefully I get some new information.

For what it is worth, this is the first time I have set up a printer on 
Linux and the first time I've setup a wireless-to-LAN, so there is a bit 
of blind guiding the blind on my end
