As I mentioned esewhere, the problem wasn't that CUPS had the wrong IP number.
And I thought I'd have to delete CUPS knowledge of my printer before starting
over with its cofiguration.
But I could find no way to tell CUPS to remove a printer (and it seems to know
several that no longer exist.)


However, I just went to http port 631 on localhost and told it to add a printer.
Worked like a charm. Don't know what it did with the old printer description.
Presumably it *is* possiblt to have two identical printers with different
options.
