I did make it a static IP, but I replaced my old netgear router with a 
linksys, and had problems getting it to work with the 192.168.10.? subnet, 
but 192.168.10.100 range worked fine.. I forgot about the printer...

I tried that. When I right-click & select properties, it comes back with an 
error dialog box:
Printer properties cannot be displayed. Make sure that you have typed the name 
correctly, and that the printer is connected to the network.
