Default What's the trick to make Ethernet work on an HP 2100TN printer?

Whew! That was *not* intuitive!


Well, if I had originally thought it was unintuitive getting
Windows XP to print to a newly home-ethernetted HP 2100 TN printer,
I spoke before I got Linux to print to the same printer (wirelessly):

Here's the sequence for Linux to get a printer hooked
to a home broadband router:

Now, the WinXP machine, hard wired to the router, can print to the
printer (also hard wired to the router); while the Linux laptop
wirelessly connected to the router can also print to that networked
printer.

Success at last!
Thanks for all your help!

Hi,
You use Ubuntu? I use Ubuntu and Mist Linux. Ubuntu is good but they
charge for some apps. My router is ASUS RT-AC66U, Synology NAS
DS713+/DX213 combo. Network has Wired devices thru a GBe switch XP pro,
W7 Ult., W8 Pro, Linux. Mac OS X sharing Canon MP990 WiFi printer. I
monitor my PV solar panel array connected to the router as well.
Coming winter project is adding WiFi video surv. cameras tothe NAS.
