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.

I am also seeing problems with the printer having made itself a DHCP 
into my network and I am going to correct that tomorrow by forcing it 
into a static ip and locking all machines to that. The 
assignments/findings are flakey under DHCP when some other computer 
might grab the address the printer had earlier.

Then I'll deal with you document and the "I can't scan issue". That 
being said, such is not a showstopper for me as it works clean on XP and 
I've got cygwin on that machine happily yakking with all the Linux boxes.

Progress!
Thanks,
Paul
