how do i change a printer's ip address?

hi

i've been given an old hp2100tn laserjet printer and need to get inside and change the ip address settings and device name stored in the printer's memory from its previous location.

does anyone have any general experience doing this kind of thing, or specifically with that model printer? i don't have a web interface or anything like that.

thank in advance for any suggestions

Good work, Peter!

The HP Laserjet Utility wouldn't be able to work because of the Dlink router not passing appletalk.

After you reset it, the printer reverted to DHCP client, so got an IP address. You can now use telnet to access the printer - if you want to, that is.
