Hi Steve
Thanks for the reply and suggestion.  I have tried the arp -d * command as
you suggested, however I still could not ping that printer.  I will reboot
now.

On the same subnet, devices communicate via mac
addresses - so your arp cache is screwed up either on
the print server, the server. A switch can also be a
culprit, but not in your case since others can
communicate with both the server and the print server.
"arp -d *" will delete all entries on the server,
effectively "clearing the cache" on the server w/o
having to reboot it.
