A printer doesn't have to respond to pings, it only has to print. It may respond to pings, but the network name you see on the command line, if there is one, is how your computer has resolved the IP to a name. If you want to have a hostname associated with that IP, then either put it into your /etc/hosts file, or into your DNS server (if you have one). And, the printer will need to stay fixed to the same IP. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 13:36:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
