You may provide the IP address and other IP parameters to
the printer NIC on 32 Bit TCP/IP Stack (Windows NT &
Windows 95) using the ntBOOTP.exe program.

the same network segment as the workstation that you are
using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and
operating.

Run
ntBOOTP.exe

3. Pull down the Admin menu to Configure option.
4. Enter the IP address that you want to assign to the NIC,
its Subnet Mask (make sure it matches what you are
using on your subnet), Default Gateway (your routers IP
address), and the MAC address of the NIC (Hardware
Address, listed on the Status sheet as Ethernet Address).
Use colons as delimiters as shown on the status sheet
rather than the dashes Windows uses.
