It is a print server, I have checked for a reset switch but there is not one
although I could not find any info about a default IP address either

I have tried using nmap and while it will do a simple scan of 192.168.1.0\24
you have to keep changing the third digit range and re running the program
(please correct me on this if I am wrong).

I was hoping for something that will scan the netwrok for any connected
hardware beyond the networks own physical IP range.
