Abstract

A printer has first and second interfaces for connecting to first and second networks having first and second data host configuration protocol servers. The first and second interfaces have differing media access control (MAC) addresses. The printer uses a recovery sequence to enable recovery for a host computer running an application when switching from the first printer interface to the second printer interface.
