| Yes this printer is hooked up via ethernet. I can telnet into printer
| using port 9000 to make changes to any of the internal settings of the
| network adapter in the printer.
|
| The printer has several ways to connect to it... You can connect via
| AppleTalk, SNMP and standard TCP. It has an LPD in it. In fact it
| appears the internals are running a Unix based OS. (I can tell that by
| the telnet prompt given when you log in...)
|

Then use netcat: start at http://www.tkrh.demon.co.uk/netcat.html.
