I think the driver for the 2500 should work for the 2400. Perhaps the 1500 as well, though you may be "shortchanged" some capabilities. >How do I get this all to work together and print?

The "usual" way to do this, would be to install the printer software from the CD (check to see if you have a folder called "Printer Descriptions" in your system folder). In my OS9 System Folder, in the Extensions Folder, it seems the printer drivers have to be at the Extensions Folder leves. There is a subfolder called "Printer Descriptions" but those files are not "seen" by the Chooser. If the correct driver is in that subfolder, drag it out to the Extensions Folder level. Restart and look at the Chooser. If the correct driver shows up, then you should be set. Plug in the printer cable to the Printer Port on the 6214 (power off, of course!), turn on the printer and the 6214, select the printer in the Chooser, try to print something. Any idea what "broke" the ethernet connection? New router or switch in the mix? Upgraded OS? Odd behavior, so something must have changed.
