Hello list I hope I am not OT with this question : I have been given an Epson stylus Color 1520 printer, which is very interesting since it can accept larger sizes of paper. It works nicely on a parallel connection, but it is provided vith an Ethernet connection add on card C823623 but I do not have the manual for this card and I do not know its default address and do not know how to change it.
There is just a Mac address on the card. Is it possible to make this card work ? I asked on an Epson technical list but they said they did not know
You should have asked to speak to an engineer who DOES know the answer. Just because the phone-droid doesn't have the answer does NOT mean that nobody does.
and they would be interested to know if anyone found a sulution on a linux list. Thanks in advance
Try pinging the broadcast addresses in the 192.168.*.* range.
Or run ethereal (you have to be root) and look for the ARP messages (Address Resolution Protocol) that are used to communicate the mapping between an ethernet card's MAC address and its IP address.
Oh, I forgot..when you run ethereal, you have to tell it to go into "promiscous mode" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
