I realized this morning that another friend of mine actually works in a print shop. One of his jobs? Networking. He said this morning they have three of these printers and is going to help me. Why I didn't think of this yesterday, I don't know. If we get stuck today I'll contact you. Thank you again. Thank you very much Dean for the help offer.

This is usually accomplished using the printer's buttons and a menu on the LCD. (In the old days, we had to RARP the thing. Ugh.) Since you gave him a new modem and router, the IP address assigned to his computer is probably different than the network number he was originally on, say, 192.168.0.1 instead of 192.168.1.1. So, you can either change the IP of the printer and match that in the drivers (easy) or change the DHCP pool and IP of the router, then reboot (easy). Either way, make sure that the DHCP pool excludes the fixed address of the printer. Don't want to end up with duplicates! If you have any specific questions, email me. You should have the address.
