Jeff, Thanks for the input. Is it ok to use the host ip address as input to the system-printer-config tool for "server" on the remote PC? I have also been trying to determine what to use as the "path" (with the config tool above on the same setup screen) on that PC as well. I also added a few responses below.

I assume I don't need too, and I can have a /dev/lp0 and an ipp printer on the same PC?
