Trying to setup Dell 1700 Network Printer

[fbrdphreak]

Hey all,
I'm setting up a Dell 1700 network printer at work. We have to register each device's MAC on the network in our IP system to get it network access. I print out the printer info page for the 1700 and on the "Ethernet 10/100" printout there is NO MAC address. It is connected, recognized the 100Mbps connection, and even has an IP (altho incorrect). But nowhere does it list a MAC address. The only thing remotely close to a MAC is the "UAA (MSB, Canonical)" and I don't know what that is, but its not a MAC address. Help?

You sure it's not on a label on the device somewhere? You say it has an incorrect IP - if there is DHCP enabled and it leases an IP address, you can derive the IP from that.

I checked all the labels. It has retrieved an IP, but (A) for some reason its not from the correct subnet and (B) it won't be allowed access until its MAC is registered in our system. I tried installing Dell's software and it installed, but couldn't print to the printer.
