It did come up for me using the command line. Yes I have KDE 3.4.2 level "b" 
installed.

Yes it is cabled directly to the Router. As I said before the config in 
Windows XP Pro was easy.

The KPrinter wizard defaults to Port 9100. I don't know if this is the proper 
port or not. In the Properties for the printer it shows Port=USB001 Virtual 
Printer Port for USB. No where in Printer Properties do I find any reference 
to the IP Address for this Printer.

I must have done something right when I set it up in Windows to print as a 
Network printer. It works just fine whether I'm on the machine next to it or 
the one downstairs or my wife's. So Yes it must be configured as a Network 
Printer in Windows. 

Where would the IP Address info be located? Surely it must be located 
somewhere in the Host machine. How does the Router know to Network Print to 
it thru Windows. So it must have an IP number. Right? Confusing to me! But 
I'm learning. But then I'm over 65 and I do have my Senior Moments! :)

Does this provide you with additional details or do you need more? I really do 
appreciate your help. Thanks so much.
