Need help with an old networked printer

[david at thekramers.net (David Kramer)]

I just got a DEC LN17PS laser printer *very* cheap.  It has duplex printing, 
envelope printing, and a network card.  I want to set up CUPS on my Red hat 
7.3 box to talk to it.  The problem is, I can't figure out how to see/change 
the IP address of the network card.

I cannot find an online manual for this thing, and the ethernet config menu on 
it does not mention IP addresses.  I found references to it talking on port 
2501, but that's it.

PS- This is supposed to be the same thing as the Xeron 4517 (it uses the Xerox 
LN17 engine) and the IBM Network Printer 17.

BTW, I tried running tcpdump on my server's intranet card then turning the 
printer on, and saw activity that I simply cannot interpret.  For a sample 
see http://thekramers.net/tmp/decoutput.txt

Thanks.
