192.0.0.192. (This IP address should be used only
temporarily for configuration purposes.)
To choose an IP address:
1. Select an IP address and hostname for the Net-
work Print Server.
Example:
192.168.42.50 Net-
work Print Server_name
2. Add the name and IP address to the “/etc/hosts”
file of each host that will access the Network Print
Server. Or, if your network uses a name service,
add the host name and IP address to the name
server.
Most TCP/IP networks use the Network Information
Service (NIS), Domain Name Service (DNS) or the “/
etc/hosts” database. See your network documentation
for instructions.
