How do I find the IP address of a printer on my network? Thanks. I don't know. How do _you_? I use nmap sometimes. I walk up to the printer and select the print system information option sometimes. I walk up to the printer and find it on the on-screen config menu sometimes. With DNS service discovery, I can sometimes find the printer by name, and not need the IP address: $ lpinfo --include-schemes dnssd -v network dnssd://Brother%20HL-L6200DW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=e3212300-80ce-11db-8000-3c2af4123123 $ That is on Linux, YMMV with other operating systems. Your lack of detail about the printer, the network, and the OS(s) involved doesn't help. Elijah ------ Windows should have an nmap equivalent, maybe even called nmap |

There will be something that identifies your printer, perhaps something like Epson... and beside it you should find your printer's MAC address and I.P. address. -- Stuart Winsor Tools With A Mission sending tools across the world http://www.twam.co.uk/ |

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. Another app I find useful is Port Authority which is available from Fdroid. Quick scan of all your network and a port check too. If you're not using the Fdroid repositiory you should have a look. I go there nearly always in preference to Play Store and have a number of useful apps, some of them the same as Play Store but without ads!! hth -- AnthonyL Why ever wait to finish a job before starting the next? |
