Okay, I've done

su -
arp -s 192.168.2.110 <macaddress>

and that seems fine. However, I cannot ping to that address or telnet to
it which suggests the netmask on the printserver is incorrect. There is
activity on the TX light (it flickers every now and again), but nothing
else.

The manual has nothing on the netmask. Looking though at man route, I
should be able to something, but I'm not sure if that's the way I should
be doing things. It may also be that a password is on the printserver
which could prevent the IP address being altered.

TTFN
