• If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply replace the host name entry
with the IP address.
• The ARP command varies between different UNIX/Linux systems. Some BSD type systems
expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will
require the additional argument ether.
• When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a
significantly longer response time than is usual
• The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 10
minutes after restarting the print server
Once you have set the IP address of your print server, your network
printer can be added to any PC on your network. The method that you
choose should be dictated by your printing requirements and your
supported network environments. Select the appropriate method from the
