from command prompt type:
net view

is the printer listed?

if so, type:
tracert PRINTER

where PRINTER is the name from the net view command

oh, and what printer doesn't have an option to view and/or print the network config page? -- nm - oblique Apr 14, 10:05 12
- true. apparently a konica printer/copier purchased by his boss -- nm - decline Apr 14, 10:05 11
  - I need to know the model. I'm sure we can figure it out -- nm - oblique Apr 14, 10:07 10
    - konica 7040. it doesnt show up in netview - tRuMaN Apr 14, 10:08 8
      - According to the manual, if you power it off and back on, it is supposed to print out a network information page -- (link) - oblique Apr 14, 10:14 5
        
        right off the bat? Interesting. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 10:16
        
        ok, so now I just need to wait until it isnt printing tax returns. - tRuMaN Apr 14, 10:16 3
        
        It'd be easier to look at the config on the XP machine already connected. SHould be easy to pull the IP information from that - oblique Apr 14, 10:17 1
        
        yeah, that was my original thought, i was hoping for something i could do while waiting for people to go to lunch. - tRuMaN Apr 14, 10:19
        
        "july." -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 10:16
      - Just look at the printer properties on the XP machine and view the Port tab. It will tell you how it's connected -- nm - oblique Apr 14, 10:09
      - check that the 2 XP machines are on the same work group as the machine that can't see it -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 10:09
    - Yep. I'd be curious if there's a button sequence to hit that prints all the settings (or a separate one for network settigns) - Beryllium Apr 14, 10:08
