Are you sure it's not getting an IP via DHCP?  Try 'sudo netmap -A
192.168.0.*' (or whatever your LAN is).

If not, you may have to look at the HP docs to see what the default IP
is.  Is there anything in the printer's (physical LCD) menu that has
to deal with the network settings? I have a vague memory of something
like that on a 4000N...
