This particular printer prints a Network Configuration report (mac and ip address) by depressing the cancel button (when the printer's in ready mode) for five seconds or so. There is a utility installed with the proprietary linux driver for changing the printer's ip address. If the proprietary driver hasn't been installed, there is a SyncThru™ Web Service embedded in the printer, which can be accessed via its ip address (see above), that allows manual network configuration. Enter the machine's IP address (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in the address field of your favorite browser and press the Enter key or click Go. You have to log in as the adminstrator; default ID and password: ID: admin Password: sec00000 It's all in the docs. (Hope I'm looking at the right printer). I suppose if someone a decade ago created a login ID and password for the web interface that the OP ignores, that could spell trouble. -- “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” -Oscar Wilde
