It isn't a matter of sharing one IP but of being on the same network in
order to communicate. From an earlier post we have
Through Control Panel, I learned that the computer had ip address
192.168.100.3. The HP2100 printed a configuration report which indicated
an ip address of 192.168.1.201
It seems that the consensus is that 192.168.1.201 is a fixed IP for the
printer. We will go with that.
If the printer is to communicate with the computer it needs to have an
IP like 192.168.100.3.201. Change its IP with telnet. A moment's job.
