Here is what I have on that page: ===================================================================== Showing 7 of 7 printers. Queue Name Description Location Make and Model Status Canon_LBP351dn_f9_7a_4a_ CNLBP712C CNLBP712C, driverless, cups-filters 1.28.7 Idle Canon_LBP712Cdn_db_c0_d3_ Canon_LBP712Cdn_db_c0_d3_ CNLBP712C CNLBP712C, driverless, cups-filters 1.28.7 Idle Cups_PDF_oc3261540276 Cups_PDF_oc3261540276 Local Raw Printer Paused HP_LaserJet_4100_Series_0001E6A68D3D_ HP_LaserJet_4100_Series_0001E6A68D3D_ HP LaserJet 4100 Series , driverless, cups-filters 1.28.7 Idle hp_LaserJet_4250_621E13_ hp_LaserJet_4250_621E13_ hp LaserJet 4250, driverless, cups-filters 1.28.7 Idle HP_LaserJet_P3010_Series_0FCDD7_ HP_LaserJet_P3010_Series_0FCDD7_ HP LaserJet P3010 Series, driverless, cups-filters 1.28.7 Idle PostScript_oc3261540276 PostScript_oc3261540276 Local Raw Printer Paused ===================================================================== Of course it looks like crap when I just paste the text from the web page into an email. But if you ignore the horrible formatting, you can see there are NO IP addresses here. If I go to a single printer's page, I get text like this: ===================================================================== Canon_LBP351dn_f9_7a_4a_ Canon_LBP351dn_f9_7a_4a_ (Idle, Accepting Jobs, Not Shared, Server Default)  Maintenance  Administration Description: Location: Driver: CNLBP712C CNLBP712C, driverless, cups-filters 1.28.7 (color, 2-sided printing) Connection: implicitclass://Canon_LBP351dn_f9_7a_4a_/ Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=one-sided ===================================================================== Maybe I need to amend the question to "How is one supposed to figure out which autodetected printer is which IN A CORPORATE NETWORK OF UNKNOWN PROVENANCE?" I don't know what I need to say to convey to you that my workplace's network DOES NOT work like what you see on yours. Looking at the stuff that I pasted here, how am I supposed to know whether this corresponds to the physical printer with IP address 10.76.172.100?
