How to Find the IP Address of Your WiFi Printer on Windows and Mac
Every WiFi prіnter will have аn IP address assigned to it that will allow the printer to connect to your home or office network successfully. If you’re having issues printing to your WiFi printer, knowing the IP address can be helpful when you start troubleshooting. It’s also useful to know the IP address if you need to install the printer on a different computer.
There are a few ways you can go about finding the IP address of your WiFi printer on your computer. If the printer has a display, you can usually get the IP address by printing a configuration page via the printer’s control panel.
If your printer doesn’t have a display, you’ll need to connect it to your Windows PC or Mac to find the IP address. Below are the steps you’ll need to take to find your printer’s IP address on Windows and macOS.
How to Find a Printer IP Address on a Windows PC
On a Windows PC, you can find your IP address via the Windows Control Panel, Command Prompt or via Windows Settings.
Find a Printer IP Address on Windows Using the Control Panel
The Control Panel is a collection of tiny programs or applets that allow you to view and configure various Windows system settings. You can use the Control Panel to find your printer’s IP address in a few quick steps.
- Open Control Panel.
- Next, select Hardware and Sound > View Devices and Printers.
- Right-click your printer and select Properties.
- Select Web Services.
- Check for your printer’s IP address below the Troubleshooting Information panel.
Find a Printer IP Address Using Command Prompt
The Command Prompt in Windows is used to execute commands that automate tasks via scripts and batch files. The command-line interpreter app can also be used to troubleshoot or solve certain issues in Windows or perform advanced administrative functions.
If you can’t find your printer’s IP address via the Control Panel, you can use the Command Prompt instead.
- Type CMD in the search box, press Enter and select the Command Prompt option from the search results.
- Type ipconfig and press Enter.
- Find the IPv4 address.
- Type ping followed by a space and the IPv4 address and press Enter.
- Next, type arp -a and press Enter. This will load the dynamic and static connections that use the IPv4 address.
- Copy the dynamic IP address you got from the arp command. Open your web browser, paste the IP address and press Enter. If you see a printer setup page with the manufacturer’s logo and other printer information like ink levels or printer status, it means the address you pasted is your printer’s IP address.
- Alternatively, you can enter netstat -r in the command line and press Enter.
- You’ll see all the network devices connected to your PC and your printer’s IP address.
Note: You can also find your printer’s IP address by checking for the 12-digit number that appears next to the printer’s physical or MAC address.
Find a Printer IP Address Via Windows Settings
