Re: the marriage of wireless and wireful
Naturally the problem would be at the end. It's in the printer. You report
it configured as follows:

>gateway = 192.168.0.1
which means it thinks that 192.168.1.10 is local, since you gave it a 16-bit
netmask. So it receives the ping request and tries to arp a local host to
respond to instead of using the gateway. Fix: change the printer's netmask
from /16 to /24.
