Okay, I just got printing working. So, the ip addresses obviously work. 
I still have two concerns:
1. I can't scp from another machine to this one, and
2. These ip addresses must be assigned by the cable modem/router as I 
never assigned them. How will I print if the cable modem is down (well, 
my ISP)? It has happened. Without a static address I can't print across 
my LAN...
