How to change the IP Address in SCO Unix

cd to /var/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces
vi the printer that you want to change the IP Address.
Look for the line: PERIPH=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (example PERIPH=192.168.1.24)
Change the IP Address to whatever you want.

****If your printer was on a HP JetDirect then check to make sure the PORTNO=9100****

After you make the change, then save the file.

disable the printer with this command:
disable printername
Then enable the printer with this command
enable printername

You should be able to print to the printer with the new IP Address.
