I think I set it up correctly; your instructions are very clear. But when
I issue a print command to that printer, I get an error message: Printer
not responding -- may be off line, etc.

I will keep playing with it. (I tried pinging the address, 192.168.2.1 and
that worked fine). Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,
Sandy
