What about printer's MAC?Yes; the title is "JetDirect Configuration Page", which provides the following: IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.210 SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0 DEF.

So the printer uses statically assinged IP. This simplifies things :) Reco
I have experience with two HP LaserJets and one Epson All-in-One inkjet, and all came with fixed IP addresses from the factory, in the range above 192.168.1.100. One came with .130, one with .147. one with .120. In your case, the fixed IP is .210. It should be easy to change, following instructions that came with the printer. Set the new IP address somewhere betwween .5 and .29 and all will be well. (Then you need to set the computer to look for that address when asked to print.) --dm
