Thank you very much for your purposefully helpful advice on ipscan.

I don't use AV programs so I'm fine with AngryIP ipscan, which I like.
o AngryIP ipscan is simple - it just scans for devices & open ports

What it found for my printer turned out to be correct
o I hadn't realized my printer had port 80 open, but it did!

Others may have guidance on port scanning but there is another thread
on printing to windows 10 and it notes that AngryIP can scan for open
ports (Options-Select Ports ie range).

In another thread, I'm trying to get printing to work from Android
directly from my Android phone (on my LAN via Wi-Fi) to the Ethernet'd
printer (on my LAN on the same subnet).
o Do you use Windows to print from your Android to your printer?

One thing that comes up is "CUPS", which seems to use port 631 by default.
o https://i.postimg.cc/6qRSK6WY/printing11.jpg Turn CUPS print server on
o https://i.postimg.cc/9fMnMYX4/printing12.jpg CUPS wants to use port 631

That begs the question of "what port" do printers normally use anyway?

I've never printed from my Android but I've just switched my Epson
X)-6005 on which is connected to my WiFi (and a direct USB to my
notebook).

I then followed the Android's Help which says to go Connected Devices,
clicked on Connections preferences and then Printing which after a few
seconds found my Epson via Default Print services.

I don't know if there is a normal and I don't know which my setup
would use. I thought 80 was an output port only.


I've just printed something out, quite easily once I selected
colour/mono as an option. I wonder if Port 80 is to deliver printer
information and one of the other Ports to send the printing to?
