Hi all,
I'm in a situation where I can see a network printer,
I can touch it, I can smell it even, but no one
will tell me what its IP address is, nor its hostname.
Is there an innocuous way to determine what network
device(s) in my local network is/are the printer, and to get
a hostname for it so that I can add them to my hosts file?
Also, is this not the purpose of a directory service,
to help people learn what resources are available?
If so, how do I get a list, if the directory is,
for instance Windows based?
Thanks,
YF
