Digital BW, The Print

Update: I give up.

After hours on the phone with Linksys tech support, exchanges of
emails with them and trying the many kind suggestions offered by
members of this group, enough is enough.

The Linksys gear goes back to Best Buy tomorrow (one advantage of
buying locally: a very liberal return policy).

I obtained two 16' usb 2.0 cables; each has a hub built into one end
to act as a 'repeater' or 'booster'; I strung them (and another
shorter cable) from my computer into the next room and it works just fine.

Now I can learn how to best use my new 2200 rather than fighting to
make it work at all. 

The cable run isn't pretty, but it works.
