How do I clear the arp cash in Unix?

We have several SCO unix servers at several locations and each site has printers. We have had some of the printers go bad and had to replace them. So we use the same IP address but the server still has the same mac address in the arp cache. The only way we have cleared the arp cache is to reboot the server. I know that is not a good thing but it is all we have at this time. Any advice would be appreciated.
 
In the man arp page pay attention to the -d option.

Hope This Helps, PH.
