Re: printer with static ip address inaccessible from lan

Can't you just plug the printer locally to a PC, change manually the PC's 
network-address to 192.168.1.x, connect to the printer and change its IP to 
192.168.2.x. Then, of course, you will loose the connection, but the printer 
will be in the desired network. Don't forget to change IP-configuration of 
your PC, and connect to the router.
