Canon GP160 - network installation

I'm trying to install a Canon GP160 on a small home network. All windows-machines DHCP from a DrayTek Vigor2600VG ADSL Modem/Router - standard settings.

The Network Printer Board J1 LED is lit correctly, and the router recognises that it's a 10MBPS connection corectly too. Installed NetSpot 3.0.3.56 on a WinXP machine on the network, but it does not recognise the printer on the network.

Doesn't look like the router is assigning it an IP address - is there any way to resolve this, or am I overlooking something? Do these old GP160s DHCP from default network card configuration?

I guess I'd need to set a static IP, but no idea how to do so for the J1 board. If I print a test page via the LCD panel, it does not show an IP address. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance for your help!
