Maybe your JetDirect card died (ours did on our 2200dtn), which is
apparently a common problem. Although, in our case the config printed
from the printer thought there was no longer such a device installed (so
it had no IP).

If you try configuring a local PC for an IP in that range (like 10.0.0.1)
can you access the printer web config at http://10.0.0.150/
