*If you can't get on the printers web interface as it is not on the LAN and need to plug direct into it to access CWIS, I cannot think why the printer would be allowed to access the LAN to the extent that you could send an email, seems like quite a loophole to the security in the environment, having stated that*
Following is just cut and paste from a thing I have, so replace the 10.1.1.1 with your printer IP, on the PC make the last octet be +1 to your printer IP. This is generic enough to work with any network device, you must use a Crossover cable to do this, it doesn't work with a regular network cable
From the Windows 7 client Workstation do the following;
- Click start/control panel/Network and Sharing Centre.
- Under “view you active connections” click the hyperlink below “Access Type: Internet” on your active connection.
- Click the properties radio button.
- Select Internet Protocol version 4 and click the properties radio button.
- Select “Use the following IP address” and enter the following;
IP Address: 10.1.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: [leave-it-blank]
DNS Servers: [leave-it-blank]
- Click ok and close the control Panel.
From the Printer
- Work with your printer vender to access the tcp/ip v4 settings of the network card and enter the following;
IP Address: 10.1.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: [leave-it-blank]
DNS Servers: [leave-it-blank]
