Change network printer IP address
We had a network consisting of 3 PCs and 1 network printer (Nashuatec
D420, using Ricoh Aficio 200/250 drivers) in the 195.195.195.x IP address range. After installing broadband I had to set the IP addresses to be dynamically obtained by DHCP (in range 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.253). The printer does not have the ability to change the IP address via it's control panel. I know the printer's MAC address and tried to assign an IP address ,192.168.1.x, using arp and pinged it afterwards, without success. Does anyone know how to change a printer's network address in Windows XP Home Edition? Thanks! |

There is no 'standard' way of doing this - it varies from printer to printer. If it's control panel doesn't give you networking options then there must be some other way of being able to change such settings. Try telneting into it or pointing a web browser to its ip address.

You could try using telnet to see if it has an onboard telnet server config interface. eg telnet ipaddress -- Dave Lost. Unique sig line. Reward offered. |

Does anyone know how to change a printer's network address in Windows XP Home Edition? Thanks! Typically a network printer can be set to get its IP address from a DHCP server. I guess yours cannot. Here's what you need to do: Change your DHCP scope to 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.249 we'll reserve 192.168.1.250 for your copier/printer Telnet into your copier/printer At a command prompt enter the following command: telnet 195.195.195.x Substitute x with the proper value You should see something like the following: Welcome to XXXXXX-X Enter username, or HELP Enter su At the Server prompt, enter su again at the password prompt enter system "system" is default super user password which does not echo back Server to define Subnet Mask enter: serverdefine subnet 255.255.255.0 to define ip: serverdefine ip 192.168.1.250 to verify: servershow server config port 1 to logout: serverlogout |
