question for the Mac-aware

[arethinn]

Is there a way change the IP address of an LPR printer without having to trash the desktop printer and re-create it? Printing > Printer Setup doesn't seem to contain this option. It would make my life easier if there were some way I could do this on the fly and not have to log out of student, log in as admin, trash the printer, create it again...

(Note that it's not that we need to be switching back and forth, in which case it would make sense to create one of each and switch as needed, but that the printer the Macs usually point to suffered a physical failure, and I had to go change all their desktop printers to point to the other printer. Obviously, when it is fixed I will need to change them all back. How I wish they just fed into the queue so this wasn't an issue, but that's Windows and this is OS 9.2 and there's never the twain shall meet without some third-party help, which ain't happening. :p )

Hmmm... I can't figure out a way to do that either. I access my printers through the Chooser, and there doesn't seem to be a way to do something like this. Sounds like a pain in the arse. :(
