Karol,

   I missed the DHCP menu and the rest of 'em the first few times through.
This time I think I got it. I set the IP address and the gateway address but
I don't know what the SM BYTE and LG BYTE represent so I left them as they
were.

   Just tried pinging the printer (after adding its IP address and name to
/etc/hosts) but "destination host unreachable". So, something's still not
correct.

   We'll see in a week or so. The card left Orlando, FL on the 16th. If it's
not under water somewhere it should be on its way out here.

   Any further trouble-shooting tips? You've taught me well so far. :-)

Thanks,
