Chances are you're trying to replace a printer. Basically, all you'll need to do is find out how the older one was configured by going through Scribble, and set the new machine with the same IP address.

To get to Scribble, direct your browser to: http://scribble:631/printers

An ASS can provide you with your login and pass.

Look through the Scribble menu for the printer that was there before to find its URI. You'll need the numbers before the ":" Then, you'll need to navigate through the menu system in your printer to change its IP address byte-by-byte.

"192" will be "BYTE 1" and so on...

Some other menu options to look out for:

TCP/IP: YES
BOOTP: NO
