- If it's using DHCP leasing, your router may have a table of DHCP clients by mac address and IP address. - Beryllium Apr 14, 09:55 2

    - If it's a laser with a display on it, you can also print the printer config directy from the device through the on board menu -- nm - scorpion Apr 14, 09:55 1
