Comment (by stargatefan):

 will be testing tonight, there is a bug in gueten print with margins that
 stalls guetenprint. will report back with all findings and traces.

   would it be possiable to write a utility to find the printer and set the
 IP adress automatically ? I look at new users who are not terriably
 network or computer savy and I imagine they nmight get fustrated. For
 instance my printer ip is 192.168.2.2 and it has a page if you goto the
 adress that displays the printer info. I wonder if we could take advantage
 of the html code on the printer dialog page to identify printers and have
 the setup utility select the proper IP adress after scanning the IP blocks
 say from 192.168.0.0-.254.254 that shoud make it stone simple for the
 average home user.
