You can find out the ethernet MAC address for the printer, right?
Then create an ARP entry for that one. On BSDs (the UNIX type I'm familiar
with), it's done with:
arp -s arp -s hostname ether_addr
Explanation snipped from the man page:
-s hostname ether_addr
Create an ARP entry for the host called hostname with the Ether-
net address ether_addr. The Ethernet address is given as six hex
bytes separated by colons. The entry will be permanent unless
the word temp is given in the command. If the word pub is given,
the entry will be "published"; i.e., this system will act as an
ARP server, responding to requests for hostname even though the
host address is not its own.

I suppose the IP address above doesn't work?
Try:
telnet 111.1.0.1 2002
All right, if that doesn't work, we'll have to do the abovementioned entry in
the ARP table, using the Ethernet address seen above:
arp -s calcomp 00:c0:e2:00:0c:8e
Now you've made an ARP entry. So if we do:
telnet calcomp 2002
What happens?
