Determining Printer IP Address
This document tells you how to determine the IP address for the most common printers.
To obtain the IP address for the printer, it is recommended to be at the printer. It may be helpful to print these instructions and take them with you if it is located in another room.
Examples of the two relative pieces of information are:
