I think you're going to find that the machine previously had a C1 Fiery connected and that the interface setting under service mode needs to be reset.
Which is all well and good provided that when the Firey was removed a Canon Printer Kit was fitted.

Oze offered you some sage wisdom,,,In a nutshell, if the copier used to have a C1 printserver on the back of it, it would have had a C bootrom chip installed in it, just like it had when it was born as a base copier. If that copier has that C bootrom in it, you can NOT get it to print. You need to determine if your copier has the proper bootrom. A couple of ways to do it, I like paper in hand, so here is what I suggest, enter service mode:

press Additional functions button,
press 2 & 8 at same time,
press Additional functions button,
press Copier
press Function
press Misc-P
press PPrint
Then press O.K. button in lower right area of display

This will print out all the copier stats, what you are interested in is the BootRom version, on the first page, it will be a number and an alpha character. Hit the reset several times to leave service mode.

Get back to us with the version and alpha character, and we can give you further guidance...

I agree to check whether you have a printer kit install, however. Whether or not you have a printer kit install, you should still be able to ping the machine if the ip address was added. I assume you you did it under, system settings> Network settings> IP address, "correct".

Had you had a C1 mounted now or before you would not see any network settings option under system settings because of the interface setting that is or was set for the C1. So, by what you posted in the beginning, stating that you added the IP address I would say, you don't have a ImagePass C1 print server connected. So, we will focus on trying to establish a connection first then we will focus on printing. You can't print anything until you make that first step which is establishing.

A.Communication.

Do you have a laptop?
You can try to connect directly to the machine via crossover cable.
Start up the machine in a fixed IP mode, which by default would be a

172.16.1.100 Fixed IP

Set up the network configurations on the laptop to communicate with the ImageRunner using these IP's.

172.16.1.101
172.16.1.160

Which ever IP you prefer, if you have a laptop.

If your unsuccessful in establishing communication try clearing MMI in service mode. This will revert all network a user settings back to default.

Print out a P-print first, I believe mrfixit pointed you in the right direction to do so.

Question.

When you ping the machine from the command prompt, what message are you getting back,

Request timed out.
Destination host unreachable.

Lets focus on this step first.

Hope to hear back from you.

Okay, so you do have a imagepass.
If you go into service mode and change the interface setting
Under>Copier>option>Int-face>img-cont to 3
You should then see at the top a printer tab in the control panel.
Once you hit the printer tab go into functions and run setup.
Network settings portion should get you started.
But you must have the imagepass connected correctly to the machine with all cables.

DO NOT CLEAR MMI THEN.
And disregard FIXEDIP MODE.

Have you tried switching the port on the router?
Have you tried using another cable?
I strongly suggest that you connect directly to the fiery
With a crossover cable.
