bootp

[Sean]

turn on the printer..
hold down the little error button (the little button on top) 
turn off the printer (still hold down the button)
turn on the printer ( and keep holding it for about 20-30 seconds)

This resets the printer/card to default values.

Then goto HP.com and grab their printer utility for linux and reset the
card to the networking parameters you want. 

You should be all set after that.
