It's a LaserJet 2100, and initially it didn't have a printserver in it. The printer doesn't have a panel with a menu. So my problem now is that if I want to know what the IP adress is I need to telnet to the printserver, but for telnetting I need to know the IP adress. The only "adresses" I can find, are on the JetDirect itself: TR: 000C83B1D029 AD: 0030C18D0B94 Is it possible to configure it with this info? > The hostname is whatever you say it is - put an entry in /etc/hosts to > match the IP address you set on the printer. > > HTH. > > -- > Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org > ** [ Busy Expunging <|> ] > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > Marco -- *** System shutdown message from root *** System going down in 60 seconds To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
