i used to configure it from windows, before i read the tricks in linux.
here's my notes (recall there is a reset button on the box, if you've
misconfigured or don't remember it)
how to reset the print server:
ftp to the old address, login: ps?????? (the device name at the bottom)
no password, just hit enter
passive <-- make sure it's not passive mode anymore
get CONFIG
edit CONFIG <- edit the IP,NM,GW etc.etc.
put CONFIG
get RESET this will trigger resetting with the new config file
get IPRESET <- not sure if this is needed
