Actually I do not use the supplied address block. I have a DHCP server setup to work
with the TC's ( 192.168...stuff ). When I was playing with the printers awhile back, I
did try to telnet to'm without luck.
The end result is it was easier and faster to use a couple of the extra TC's that I
have. They are running XPe and I made them print servers. One even has three printers
connected: 2 USB and 1 Parallel. Sure a dirty hack sorta, but it works and I don't have
to jump through hoops to get K12 printers working and can move on to other things.

Ithaca BankJet and PosJet; both USB and Parallel. Can't test the Parallel on the server
as there is no port for that, but the USB ones did install and work just fine.
