[DM-MUG] Networking and access to Lexmark Printer on Ethernet network

[Victoria L. Herring]

I have called and talked to Apple support and Lexmark support [on 
phone with each 1-2 hours and tech shooting it] and read discussions 
and googled and now have a Q here if anyone can answer - all machines 
have been powered down and back up, new 5e cable, all machines work 
fine other than in this one thing.

Before I got a Time Capsule [Friday], I needed to and could put the 
Lexmark Printer's IP address in the browser and a 
configuration/report page would come up just fine [on all computers, 
with a couple of different routers].  I now have a TC.  I cannot do 
this via TC.  TC works great otherwise.  It's doing a TimeMachine 
backup of a drive, it is fine on the network, all computers see each 
other etc.  Wireless is fine.  The only problem, but an important 
one, is that I cannot access the Lexmark config/setup page via 
browser.

Appletalk printing is fine.  I do not have the printer via USB;  it's 
set up as an ethernet IP printer and it has worked as that in the 
past [Belkin router].  I have pinged and it says "no route to 
host/host is down";  I have tried printing and with one IP address it 
said "Connecting to 10.0.1.25 on port 631...no connection" and I 
manually reset the IP address to 10.0.1.100 and it says it is 
connecting but it's not printing.  The routing table says:  the #25 
is old IP address an dthe #100 is the new one.  How can I access my 
printer via the IP address so I can pull up the config/setup page, as 
I could do with other routers and computers just fine.
