12. So the fallout is .....

Verizon router has a USB port, but the Firmware doesn't support network printer. Upgrading and tweaking Firmware doesn't seem a good match for my skills, so I found a USB to RJ45 adapter to match the USB printer cable to the WLAN on the router. They tell me this is a seamless, instant printing solution. I don't think it even needs to worry about URL, URI, address. Just install printer and go. It will be a few weeks before it gets here, but I'll survive.

Thanks to all supporting this printing saga.

The instructions on YOUtube, btw, to use the router USB port, were not listed as install, USB printer. They were a few videos using the terms "connect" and "network printer". Who knew.
