Not a URL, an IP address. On my network, all things have static IP addresses. So I forgot to mention that issue. I don't remember how brscan4 discovers IP addresses. It might be easiest if you give your printer a static address (configuring your DHCP server (probably in your router) to do so). Then you can tell brscan4 the IP address as I did.
Sorry - - - still learning the exact terms and where they fit! Should have just said quad and I would have been closer!

When you install Linux you are likely to get a simply configured firewall. And it is likely to block UDP 54925. But it depends on your distro. I don't know about Debian Testing -- someone else surely does. Maybe useful (first google hit): <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianFirewall>
To see the firewall rules in gory raw detail: sudo iptables -L -v
My firewall is on the router (running DD-WRT) so I was thinking that my network should be behind the wall. Not sure how to do any of that and I'm running out of time to get the needed work done! Thank you so much for your advice! Dee
