Printer is online!! :)

But I feel like such an idiot.  I don't recall setting up the printer 
with Jetdirect under Mandrake.  I did recall directing it to the ip 
address at port 9100.  My problem was I was trying to set it up with 
everything EXCEPT Jetdirect under FC3.  I thought "it couldn't be this 
because I don't have a Jetdirect server".   Thanks for the education.
