Printer needs to be attached to DHCP server in order to get an address. Obviously your switch is not DHCP server. You need honest NAT router (which contains DHCP server ) or attach it to FreeBSD machine to which you installed DHCP server. Printer should be located in the LAN zone so firewall should not be existing among those machines otherwise you need to enable port 631 for IPP and port 515 for LPR printing protocol. How the printer gets initiated should be described in the manual you got it with the printer. How the printer gets configured to be printer server is out of the scope of these message but if you tell me which spooling system you use I could help you. Sorry, I could not be of more help. Best, Predrag
