Thank you. Turns out that the printer had chosen this week to roll
over and die :) It can't even get through it's self-test without
jamming paper, among other thins [this is the one that was held
together by rivets & duct tap--I was impressed to see such a thing work
at all :) ].
I plugged in another printer, and off it ran . . .
