1. Find out the network name of the printer. If you have the network name of the printer, you can use a simple DOS command to get the IP address. Check with your network administrator and ask for the name of the printer if you do not have it.
2. Click on the 'Start' button and choose 'Run' from the menu. Type 'CMD' in the box and click 'OK.' When the DOS window opens, type 'ping printername' and record the number that is returned. This is the IP address of your printer.
3. Walk over to the printer and press the 'Menu' button. Press the down arrow until the word 'Configure' appears in the control panel. Press the right arrow key until the word 'Reports' appears on the control panel. You will now see the 'Printer Settings' page. Look on the 'Printer Settings' page for the IP address. You can use this method to get the IP address if you do not know the name of the network printer.
