Thanks for your help Alexander,

To configure the printer, I first have to be able to ping it on the 
local network, which every over computer can do.
And they can print all right, so this desktop must have some network 
misconfiguration of some sort, I guess ...
It seems like trapped into a tunnel toward the gateway/router to get 
out, but can't shake hands with a pal next door.
I first suspected a firewall rule of some sort, but there's none.

I had to investigate remotely as I can't physically access the machine, 
so until I can have another chance (the lock-down situation here doesn't 
help) I'm gathering hints and ideas.
