Aaron,
I was thinking that the extra memory and PostScript module was behind
there, too. Those are in a different place. That's why I wanted to look at a
manual. This is all done.

OK. I have network cfg = yes* and tcp/ip = yes*.
How do I assign it a network address?

See above. Do I edit /etc/hosts and add an address there for lpr; e.g.,
192.168.55.124 lp0.appl-ecosys.com lp0
When the JetDirect 600N for the Professional Series 2500C gets here I'll
need to configure that within CUPS, too.
Many thanks,
Rich
