I think that I've discovered why I cannot communicate with the Dell C1760nw
printer. Using the printer's control panel I printed out a page of its
settings and noticed that it has an apparently hard-wired IP address of
169.254.98.111. No wonder I can't ping it using the LAN IP address!
However, when I ping that address I see this:
$ ping 169.254.98.111
PING 169.254.98.111 (169.254.98.111) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 74.42.148.191 icmp_seq=1 Destination Net Unreachable
FYI, the 169.254 address is a link-local address.
