In all my years of printing from computers to printers over a network, I've never run into a printer whose IP address could not be changed from the printer's control panel. It's usually buried several layers deep to make it less likely that some dimbulb in the office will mess it up, but it's right on the panel that lights up when you turn the printer on. I should add that this is true for my only Xerox printer, a Phaser 7400DN.
If you really need to use a web browser, that's a new one on me. Maybe using a web browser is optional and it's also on the control panel.
John, The controls on the panel are four arrow buttons and a central 'select' button. No way to enter numbers ... at least no way in the minimal documentation that came with the printer. And I did look through the menus. Strangely, there's a password item that allows one to reset a 4-digit 'password' but no way to enter digits. So I just pressed the -> key to repeat the default 0 for all four. Strange. The Dell web page for this printer says to use the embedded web server. Perhaps on winders it works with a different subnet but not on linux.
