Some other data:
* I can aecho devices on the net just fine (at least non-EtherPrint
devices, since EtherPrint will not respond to an echo. Even though the
EtherPrint didn't respond to an aecho, it did respond to the AARP).
* netstat -i from the machine in question:
Name Mtu Net/Dest Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis

* Both the IIci and EtherPrints are configured as Phase I
devices--confirmed by a sniffer.
* The IIci can see and use the printers just fine.
