in your menu on the versacamm go to the system info spot and then look for the sub menu titled ip address. It is there.
IP Address SP540
I did have the same problem and couldn't figure it out. I wrote a batch file that searched for the printer, etc etc.
What it turned out to be was from advise from a local service roland rep. to unplug power to the machine to the wall for a few minutes, plug it back in and then retry.
It sounds stupid after how many hours I spent trying to get it to talk to my computer but it worked and never been a problem since.
Go figure.

ip address
The cause was the software that searches for the printer. The software that roland comes with is junk. Could not find the printer at all. Called shop where the printer was bought from and they told me it probably was the network card in the machine and was about $900 to fix. After shitting a brick, I searched the internet for a program that could find ip addresses for printers found one, loaded on my machine, and bingo, found the printer instantly and has been working fine.
Amazing how all the dealers want to do is just replace stuff and charge outrageous amounts. There hardly are no real techs, only card/board swappers until problem is gone.

The SP does not store the IP address on the printer like posted earlier. Only the newer printers like the VP (which is technically a versacamm) store the IP address. You need to either look it up in versaworks under the printer pull down menu under printer settings or load intercon net tool and let it search for the ip address.
