Don, your "printer" URL here is broken and it will fail to work,
because the default port for ipp is "631", so if you are going to
ship a compliant product you will have to write

Web: http://www.lexmark.com
Printer: http://printer1.bldg035.lexmark.com:631

Be sure to get the port right, OK?

If you can't get this little detail right (it's 631, right? Not 632?
Are you sure?) then why do you expect your users to?

Have you had your "user experience" experts test this concept, since
you're making a multi-million-dollar commitment to it?

Regards,

Larry
