I set it up local. The Printer Administration window shows: Command: lpr Driver: Generic Printer (SGENPRT) Location: After printing 2 of 3 pages from Mapquest, the printer indicated toner out. I replaced the cartridge and there was an error light which can be cleared by unplugging the printer cable and cycling the printer off. I reset the print queue and the same 2 pages printed and the error light flashed. Rebooted - same error light. Attempts to print additional items failed. Later I entered "lprm" to cancel anything pending and got "local host IP not available." When I entered "/etc/init.d/lpd stop" I got "[FAILED]" I repeated it and got "[FAILED]" "local host IP not available" In the panel is a ? which when clicked gives "Temporary error in name resolution." So far I haven't learned what this IP is about. I would appreciate help.
