I just stood by and watched as a brand new NeXT Color Workstation
was connected to a brand new NeXT Color Printer, and the printer
trashed the file system.

Apparently the printer comes out of the box set to SCSI target
address 1.  Of course, the system disk in the CPU box is also target 1.

The printer also comes without any trace of an instruction manual,
and also no clues as to how to set its SCSI address.

a) Isn't this pretty silly?  To mis-quote S.Jobs, it just don't work.

b) How do I change the printer's address?
