I want to find our printer ip. However, the button of our HP printer was out of order. Besides, our network administrator has hidden the control panel/printer setting from the windows start menu.

Anyone know how to find the printer ip address?

Why do you need the IP address in the first place? I assume that the network administrator can answer the IP question for you. If, for some reason, he refuses to, you can always try to ping the printer's name to see what IP address pops up:

start > run > cmd.

in the dos-like screen enter the following: ping (name printer)
