My problem is wireless access to a printer that is already defined and working from multiple machines with multiple operating systems. I posted a trimmed copy of the original post with "(trimmed)" at the end of the subject line.
It seems we have concluded that the problem is "beyond weird" and there is no point in fighting it any further. I tend to devote entirely too much time to trying to resolve such things. I justify it based on the assumption that an unexplained glitch is likely to come back and bite me later. It would probably be smarter to just get rid of the device.
