communicate with a printerserver using the mac adress ??

[Julien Motch]

I think you should contact the manufacturer because the printer has a
default ip-adress. It would normally be included in the documentation
provided with the printer ... but you know which kind of documentation
is usually provided (screenshot of the config process, nothing else
generally).
