either the local 'etc/hosts' file or the DNS host. The print data can
then be sent to this IP address.
You can also enter the IP address instead of the host name during

1.2.2.3. The 'arp' and 'ping' Commands
Using the 'arp' and 'ping' commands, you can save an IP address to
the print server in an easy, uncomplicated manner.
The 'arp' and 'ping' commands should be used for saving the IP
address only if your network does not use a specific IP address and
host name administration, such as DNS and WINS servers.
The 'arp' command is used for editing the ARP table. The 'ping'
command sends a data packet with an IP address to the hardware
address of the print server. If the data packet has been successfully
sent and received, the print server permanently saves the IP
address.
The implementation of the 'ping' command depends on the system
used. Please read the relevant section in the documentation of your
operating system if necessary.
