The only setup options are TCP/IP on/off (plus IP, netmask, and gateway if
on) and IPX/SPX on/off (which is off).

Trying 172.20.192.63...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Which I guess means that the RIP is up but not running NetBIOS.


<plonker mode on>
I've since found that one of them (the newer one) has some extra settings
for Windows printing (including wins address) - so that one is fixed !
Teach me to not explore EVERY menu option, even the ones that don't sound
relevant.
<plonker mode off>

I think the other one is probably the same problem, but it definitely
doesn't have the same menus.

Oh well, off to see if I can get any info from Minolta ...
