[Gllug] unknown ip of netgear printer server

[Jason Lambert]

Normally these things have a "reset" pin, which
restores everything back to factory default settings.
You could try this, the default IP it resets to should
be in the manual.

Alternativly.. There may be no "easy" way to do it,
but this is one that would work with some effort:
1) Plug PC & printer into same hub.
2) Configure the PC for an 192.168.0.* IP
3) nmap -sP 192.168.0.*
4) Configure the PC for an 192.168.1.* IP
5) nmap -sP 192.168.0.*

That *should* find it if its not too obscure. You
could try a few other ranges as well (or write a
script to do it.
