    Can anyone tell me how to find or set a new IP Address for a network
    plotter? We have been experiencing network problems and I don't know how to
    reconnect to my plotter. Any setup info would be appreciated. Thanks

    Wow, that's a pretty vague request...

    Assuming you are running DHCP, I'd recommend reserving an address set for
    your printers (i.e. 192.168.1.220-230), then in the configuration for the
    printer/plotter, program in a static IP address, subnet, etc.

    I don't think it's much different if you're not running DHCP, though it's
    been awhile since I've operated a static network.

  3. What plotter, what network interface or printserver? This can often be set
    on the frontpanel, or with a utility on the setup CD that was supplied with
    the plotter; it will search for the device on your network. If you already
    know (found out) the ip address, in the case of a modern plotter /
    printserver, you can also change the ip address with your webbrowser - just
    use the current ip address in the address box of your browser, log-in and
    change the network settings.
