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.

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
