it doesn't produce names of anything, it just decodes the network card vendor from the mac address. Device names need some kind of name resolution service
such as dns or netbios names used by samba.

And the translation from the leading triple in the mac address to the company_id can be checked here: <http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/public.html>, where it then turns out that Doug's printer at 192.168.1.120 is from Epsom? Anybody know where arp-scan finds or stores this info? It's not quite up to date, for instance b8:27:eb:xx:xx:xx should translate to the Raspberry Pi Foundation, but it shows as "(unknown)". (This is on Debian sid, where incidentally the package as well as the command is called arp-scan with a hyphen).

Thank you! You're right, the printer at 120 is an Epson WP-4530. Obviously I knew that, but I was wondering how the command was supposed to work. Also, this allows finding, in a roundabout manner, what device is connected to what ip. (In this case, I have
assigned a static ip to the Epson.)
