Any suggestions welcome.:)

I'm not exactly sure what you're tying to accomplish of or if this helpful, but it should be pretty quick & easy to figure out the printers ip addr without
having to login to your OpenWRT router.

You can either get the MAC addr OUI, Organizational Unique Identifier from a tag on the printer itself or you can look it up on the web, https://www.adminsub.net/mac-address-finder/Brother . It's the first 6 alphanumeric characters.

If the printer has physical network connectivity, you should be able run the "arp -a" from the command line on a computer on the same lan segment and get the mac to ip addr mapping for the printer.

e.g.
~$ arp -a
