Newer network printers tend to support zeroconf but you cannot assume for sure that it will be there. Chances are not bad, as Macs wanted to see that service for quite a while, but certainity is another thing. Most likely a network printer is able to request an IP number via DHCP but then you better configure your DHCP server to tie-up a specific IP number to a printer interface MAC for obvious reasons. > To use the printer, it has to be accessed as via > "192.168.1.100:9801/". That is an interesting port. "Sakura Script Transfer Protocol-2"??? Usually network printers will provide print services on some combination of ports 9100 (i.e. jetdirect), 515 (printer) and 631 (ipp) ports. 'nmap' will tell you that if you will ask. :-) Maybe because of this "Airport Extreme" in the middle which sounds like it is doing a job of a printer server and in that sense your R340 is not really a network printer at all?
