Still no go. The error message reads:

"in use - 'The printer is not responding'"

socket://10.0.0.9:9100

And I cannot establish a connection under Firefox which makes me think 
that the printer and the router are incompatible. The HP easy method is 
to use the router's WPS function but that didn't work and I had to set 
the printer up manually under Windows.
