Finding your printer’s IP address can be done in several ways, depending on your operating system and printer model. Here are some common methods:
On Windows:
Control Panel:
Open the Control Panel.
Go to Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers.
Right-click your printer and select Properties.
Look under the Web Services or Ports tab to find the IP address1.
Settings:
Open Settings.
Go to Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.
Select your printer and click Printer Properties.
The IP address should be listed under the General tab1.
Command Prompt:
Press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
Type netstat -r and press Enter. Look for your printer in the list of devices2.
On Mac:
System Preferences:
Open System Preferences.
Go to Printers & Scanners.
Select your printer and click Options & Supplies.
The IP address should be listed under the General tab1.
CUPS Web Interface:
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:631/printers.
Find your printer in the list and click on it to see the IP address1.
On the Printer Itself:
Many printers have a display screen where you can navigate to the network settings to find the IP address.
Alternatively, you can print a network configuration page directly from the printer’s menu1.
Using Your Router:
Log into your router’s web interface (usually by entering 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 in your browser).
Look for a list of connected devices, often found under Network or LAN settings. Your printer’s IP address should be listed there3.
