Printing problems "still"

I am still having problems printing.

I have an HP 4100DN (Duplex | Network) on a LAN that is stand alone.
Workstation OS is RedHat 7.1.

I have set up my printconf-gui to reflect the Queue name: HP4100DN, Queue
Type as a JetDirect Printer with an IP 192.168.1.5 and Port 9100, Printer
Driver as LaserJet 4050 (I¹ve also tried LaserJet 4, 4 Plus, 4000, 4L, etc),
Driver Options are default.

I applied changes and restarted LPD (lpd restart succeeded)

When trying to print a Test (Print Postscript Test Page) I get the error:
³There was an error trying to print the test page².

When looking at the Network Configurator it reads:
Under the Names tab:
Hostname: localhost.localdomain
Domain: ne.mediaone.net
Search for hostnames in additional domains: medianone.net
Nameservers: 24.218.0.228, 24.128.60.8, 24.128.1.80
Under the Hosts tab:
The IP address of the printer along with the name and nickname, server0, 1 &
2 IP¹s, names and finally localhost 127.0.0.1
Under the Interfaces tab:
Interface: lo  IP: 127.0.0.1  proto: none  atboot: yes  active: active
Interface: eth0: IP  <blank> proto: dhcp  atboot: yes  active: active

When trying to Ping or traceroute the printer IP 192.168.1.5 I am faced with
a ³Destination Host Unreachable²
It appears that the address From 65.96.224.1 is showing up as Gateway when I
run /sbin/pump ­i eth0 --status

Mediaone or should I say AT&T broadband is my internet provider.
Any thoughts?
