I printed a configuration page from the printer and it shows
Host Name: PAL5U006
Config by: dhcp
ip 192.168.0.3
def gateway is 162.168.1.1

Now, I put in IP addr in under JetDirect and it came up with port 9100 
but it cant find the pc. I had to allow the service in Firestarter for 
that IP but its using port 50285, 55603 and 46679.

I installed nmap and this is the result:
wadesmart at wadesmart:~$ nmap 192.168.0.3

Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, 
try -PN
