Michael,
You're correct. But, it tells me which IP address is assigned to a device.
This means that these devices must have static addresses for this

Since he's running slackware, IP addresses are set by 1 of 3 functions:
1) /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 runs at boot time and manually configures network
interfaces
2) The system has been configured to run NetworkManager (meaning that
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf is left at defaults)
3) WICD has been installed

Wes,
As I wrote in reply to John's message I've not before had a printer with a
built-in IP address. All my HP's had their IP address set in /etc/hosts on
the server.
