Does anyone know how to figure out what the printer's IP is?
As Laurent alluded, the Laserjet 5si MX should have a front panel menu of some kind that allows you to view/print/set its network configuration, which may be what you're looking for. Also, some of the older SMC Barricade routers have a parallel printer port on them, so it's also possible the printer is connected there instead of through the network. In this case, you would connect via the router IP address using LPD protocol to the queue "lp". Personally, I would prefer connecting through Ethernet instead of the parallel port, since CAT-5 wiring allows greater distances and physical flexibility than parallel printer cable.
