contents of the ARP table with arp -a.
On a UNIX workstation, use the command:
The example below shows how to set the IP address of a printer named
PS90d6a1 to 192.168.1.191.
Once the address is set, ping the IP address of the printer to confirm the
configuration.
If you receive a message indicating that the network is unreachable, the
Ethernet address of the PC or workstation does not match the IP address
that has attempted to set the network interface. Consult the network
administrator and specify an appropriate IP address.
For a more complete discussion of setting up and using ARP under Unix,
see the ARP manual.
Note:
If the ping command results in a timeout, turn the printer power off
then back on, and retry immediately after printer warm-up.

the RARP manual.
Add the following line to the Ethernet address table (usually,

Reactivate the printer. The IP address is set.
