Thank you, that worked perfectly! Yes, I had to "open TCP port 631" in my 
firewall. I did this with system-config-securitylevel by adding "631:tcp" in 
the "Other ports" line. (I'm hoping people won't be able to print files to my 
printer now since I still have the router acting as a firewall to the outside 
world. <g>)
