That's what I thought. Thanks for confirming that fact.<br>

I didn't know that or look there, but I did figure out that I was being
fooled by a remote shared printer, NOT a local printer. Did I ever feel
dumb when I realized my mistake. Live and learn (or sometimes re-learn).<br>
<br>
To make sure this never happens again, I set the router's DHCP server
to issue IP addresses starting at 192.168.1.100, and set a static IP
address in the printer at a value below 100. <br>

Thanks for all your help, info, and prompt replies, Michael!<br>

<div>The "lpadmin" command can be used to delete printers, however a
