sounds like the printers are setup to use ipx/spx and appletalk to 
communicate with the macs and windows pcs.  go to a windows pc and look at 
the printer properties and i bet its an ipx/spx port.

anyway, change the ip on your linux box to 192.0.0.193 for a few minutes, 
telnet to the jetdirect - i bet it has no password set, and set the ip with
ip: 192.168.1.99 (or whatever your ip range is)
or whatever, doing a / at the prompt will show the current settings and doing 
? will show you how to set parameters.

now change your ip back to its normal range and try to find it again.
