If you are looking for the IP Address of your printer, it is likely that you want to manually add the Printer to your computer using its static IP Address.
The advantage of adding a Printer using its Static IP Address is that it provides a more stable connection, compared to a printer that is connected to the network using a Dynamic IP Address.
Find Printer IP Address in Windows 11/10
Perhaps the easiest way to find the IP Address of a Printer is by asking the printer to print a self-test page. The print out of the self-test contains information about the printer, including its IP Address.
If the Printer is unable to print a self-test page or if you want to re-confirm the IP Address, you can find below a number of other methods to find IP Address of the computer.
1. Find Printer IP Address by Printing Configuration Sheet
Most wireless printers list IP Address on the configuration page, which can be printed by pressing and holding the Power button for 10 seconds.
In case of some printers, the Configuration page can be printed by going to Control or Settings Panel located on the Printer (Usually by going to Menu > Information > Print Configuration).
If your printer is different, check the User Manual to see if the IP Address is listed or if it provides a method to print Configuration page.
2. Find Printer IP Address Using Command Prompt
1. Right-click on the Start button > click on Command Prompt (Admin).
2. On Command Prompt screen, type netstat -r and press the Enter key.
Once the command is executed, you will find the IP Address of all network connections listed on the Command Prompt screen, including the IP Address of the Wireless Printer.
Note: This method won’t work if the printer is going through network or connectivity problems.
3. Find Printer IP Address Using Settings
If you are like most users, you are likely to prefer using the Settings App to find the Printer IP Address.
1. Go to Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners (right-pane) and click on your Printer.
2. On the next screen, click on Printer Properties tab.
Windows 10: Go to Settings > Devices > Printers and Scanners > select your Printer > click on Manage > click on Printer Properties.
3. On Printer Properties screen, you should find the Printer IP Address in “Location” section of the General tab.
If you cannot find Printer IP Address in General tab, switch to Ports Tab and select the Port that has the check mark.
Widen the Port Column to see if the IP Address is listed. If not, click on Configure Port and you should be able to see the IP Address of the Printer on the next screen.
4. Find Printer IP Address Using Control Panel

1. Open the Control Panel on your computer.
2. On Control Panel screen, click on View Devices and Printers link located under Hardware and Sound section.
