Can you ping it? Can you telnet to it? (try port 80 for the webserver, 631 to try and do IPP and 9100 for JetDirect; if you type stuff while telnetted to 9100 it will spit out of the printer as plain text) On a jetdirect box at work I get the following : $ nmap 192.168.0.5 Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA30 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Interesting ports on (192.168.0.5): (The 1542 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 21/tcp open ftp 23/tcp open telnet 80/tcp open http 280/tcp open http-mgmt 515/tcp open printer 631/tcp open cups 9100/tcp open jetdirect Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 7 seconds HTH, -D -- A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.
