How do you telnet to change the IP address of a printer?
.
1. Open a command window (Start | Run | CMD |Ok)
2. Type TELNET current.printer.ip.address
3. Some printers may require you to press the enter key
twice quickly to respond.
Here's an HP example, LexMark printers are similar.
C:\WINNT> telnet aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
