Ping Timeouts on 2 printer IP's - How to troubleshoot Ping problems?

For some reason I am getting 2 printers constantly timing out.   I have ruled out a duplicate IP address.
We use Nortel/Avaya routing switches and all the statuses look good.   Possible layer 3 issue?
Not sure how to troubleshoot?

If the printers are switched places with the working/pinging printers, can you ping them than? Are they hard wired or wireless?  Are they different make or model than the others?   Is there any other device in between the workstation and the printer other than the router?

If wireless, try changing the channel the printer uses if possible.

When you say "times out" do you also mean that you cannot print to them?

Hi Cocoan,

They are both Kyocera 3900 printers.  They are located in different switch stacks in the same building.  They are directly connected to the Switch in both cases. If i change the IP addresses on them we are able to ping them without a problem.  I also ruled out any DHCP issue.  

Time outs meaning below.  (please see below)  Please note these printers have been working for months.  I have cleard my arp in my router and switch, still doing the below.

Can you open up the command center. Goto advanced-protocols-tcp/ip-general.

Is auto ip selected?
