I meant, if you were connecting directly to the 2nd NIC on your
box, not if you were plugging it into the hub, of course.

Hmm. Does the light on the hub come up when you plug in the
printer? Tried different cables?

tcp/ip (route, netmask), or the printer itself. Once you've
got the first two right, you can nmap the printer and see
what ports are open etc.
