i used to configure it from windows, before i read the tricks in linux.
here's my notes (recall there is a reset button on the box, if you've
misconfigured or don't remember it)

how to reset the print server:
 
ftp to the old address, login: ps?????? (the device name at the bottom)
                        no password, just hit enter
  passive       <-- make sure it's not passive mode anymore
  get CONFIG
  edit CONFIG   <- edit the IP,NM,GW etc.etc.
  put CONFIG
  get RESET     this will trigger resetting with the new config file
  get IPRESET   <- not sure if this is needed
