You might try to telnet to it. If you can't get in, it might
not have a default gateway defined. (I am assuming you are
now separated by a router.) If you have access to a host on
the same network as the printer, try to telent to the printer
from that host. It might have a password enabled. If not, you
can type / to see the current config. I think ? is help...
