Setting up a printer on a WIN2K network

We are running a win2k network. Recently one of our
servers went down, and unfortunately it handled our
laserjet 4500. For some crazy reason, trying to add the
printer to another server is just not working. The
computers see the printer, but will not print.

I want to try and ping the printer, but am not sure how to
find the ip address out for the printer. Any ideas?
 
This may be a stupid question, BUT, did you first delete
the printer from the the printer folders before trying to
connect to it again once it was installed on the second
server? At times the simple things are the hardest.
 
At the printer, print a configuration page - this will
give you the IP address of the NIC in the printer.
