[Kamm, William R (Bill), ALABS]

Phil, sounds like you did everything correctly.  Like Chris said, check
your connections.  You should be able to ping the IP.  From "Printers
and Faxes", right-click the printer, select Properties, and try to print
a test page.  This is going to take some additional troubleshooting that
I can't help with remotely.
