wrong IP address for printer

Joe Robinson_2 — Tue, 11 Dec 2001 15:36:09 GMT

I have a network printer on my system that all information I can see is correctly configured, but when I look in the log file, I can see the request is going to the wrong IP address.

I've verified the IP address where the requests should be going...all configurations look correct. I've reviewed documentation but haven't found any other places where I need to change IP addresses.

Can someone suggest a site that would have a comprehensive checklist?

does the printer have a DNS/NIS entry, or perhaps is setup in /etc/hosts incorrectly?

Hi Joe,

As a starting place, does nslookup printer_name return the correct IP address? If not:

check /etc/hosts for multiple entries for the printer
check what DNS or NIS thinks the IP address is

Hi Joe,

I think you'll have to reconfigure the printer with the new ip address.

Hope this helps.

Can you redirect any file/output to the specific ip address? i mean without using lp command?

hi,

what does nslookup on the printer name (and it's supposed IP address) show?

Or maybe the printer has DHCP that is not registered with DNS.
