That's a perfectly valid Ethernet address (from the address, this is an Apple printer, right? [0]). Does it not tell you the IP address anywhere? That would be more useful. Perhaps it doesn't even have an IP address, in which case you'd need to find a way to print using it's Ethernet address. I can't help with that, sorry, so hopefully someone else can. > Pardon my ignorance, but what is ARP ?? man 4 arp. It basically tells you the Ethernet address of a host on the local network, provided you know it's IP address. I'm not sure if it can do the reverse, which is what you need really.
