Wireless printer IP address
Is there anything I can run from a Command window to find the I address of a
wireless printer that's connected to my network? I know I can find it by accessing my router and looking at what's connected, but I'm trying to help a friend over the phone, and I'm not too sure she'd be able to check that. I was hoping for a command like IPCONFIG, but nothing comes to mind :-( -- SC Tom |

The IP address is still being searched for at swich-on time, but if you print a status after a few minutes the address is provided. I then have created an icon on the desktop that just contains that address. When clicked on it provides current status. I have a static IP address. If you have the printer manual it might tell you in there. -- Robin Bignall Herts, England |

I downloaded the manual for her printer (HP C7280 AIO), and should be able to talk her through printing out a self-test report. Hopefully we can go from there. If worse comes to worst, I guess I'll have to take a ride out to visit. It's not all that far, but coinciding our schedules will definitely be fun. -- SC Tom |

I swear, I wasn't near this busy before I retired, and she wasn't either :-) -- SC Tom |

My printer also has a complex hierarchy of panels for displaying and setting all of the printer parameters or displaying them. I have not mastered this, preferring to do it by software, but there's a Menu button that leads to Configuration pages, each of which can be printed. Running the setup program should find the printer. -- Robin Bignall Herts, England |

You might try to do the "print settings" in a support tab, if there. On my Brother, I can right-click properties, then a couple of more clicks to a "print settings" which gave me a detail history & how much more life the drum had before replacement as well as how many times I changed the toner; on the 3rd page of the printouts, I see everything about its net settings including ipv6 (disabled), mac, ipaddr & how it got it. I can also print the net settings by holding down the "go" button for about 10 sec or so until the status button turns from the normal green to yellow. Don't recall your printer model, etc but something similar "should" be available also.....my Brother is a 2005 model so any newer printers "should" be just as friendly? |
