Q: 630 Pro, Ethernet or not ??????????

Hi,
all those information posted in several topics up here has made me a bit confused.
So I try to keep the question simple:

Is the LaserWriter 630 Pro able to be run as a IP printer using Ethernet with a custom IP address so I could use it together wit Mac OS 10.6 ?????????

If you know the answer, please let me know.

G4_400 AGP / cpu upgrade @1.1Ghz, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

    Thank you Niel! If I could add more points to you for this answer, I would.

    I find the very idea of junking my 17 year old 630 Pro without due cause absolutely revolting.

    When installing a used Ethernet printserver, such as the author's suggested Netgear PS101, sometimes determining the Ethernet address of the printserver is a puzzle.

    Ping can help you -- either the Mac OS X version in Network Utility or the Terminal version (or OS 9 MacPing). Set up a ping to the LAST address on your local network, with two or more pings, and it acts as a Brodcast Ping and will show all connected Ethernet Addresses. Add or remove the mystery device and Ping again. The difference is the mystery device's Ethernet Address.

    Example:
    You use 192.168.0.xxx as your local address range, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
    A ping or two to 192.168.0.255 gets all attached devices to respond and show their addresses.
