how to access a printer with the ethernet cable

Hey I have a Kyocera KM-3060 and It got stuck with the wrong ip address, so i need to change that but I cant access it over the network, so how can I access the printer with a laptop and the ethernet cable?, I've used a USB cable but it doesnt take me to the main administration panel... so any ideas?

Do you know the current IP Address of the Kyocera?
Can you access the Web Interface by using http://123.123.123.123 (replace with Kyocera IP Address)?
Have you set the IP address up as a fixed IP Address using DHCP on your router / DHCP Server?
USB cable won't be much use to you - you need to use TCP/IP to access the printer.

in addition to what thinkpads said, I used a crossed-wire to access the device!

Thanks
use crossed-wires for these kinda situations!
If no going via a swith - that is making direct connect from printer to PC - please remember the ethernet cable should be cross-over type.
