Printer MAC Addresses

printing

I have three printers that I have to put on our internal network using the printers' internal NICs. They are all currently attached to Windows XP machines and shared via the OS.

So I need to submit details to the networking folks to get IP addresses for each printer.

How do I find the MAC addresses of these printers (they are all HP LaserJets)?

Edit:

Printers:

  • HP LaserJet 3050
  • HP LaserJet 1600
  • HP LaserJet 2420

All are attached via USB currently.

Edit:

None of the printers currently have IP addresses. They all have the capability but currently are not setup.

When you did a 'test page', did you do it from the client machine or the printer?... if you did it from the client machine, I doubt you'll get good information about network settings of the printer (specially if you're connecting through USB).

Doing a quick google you can find the manual for your 3050, check for others:

Network configuration page
The Network configuration page lists the current settings and properties of the all-in-one. To print the Network configuration page from the all-in-one, complete the following steps:

  1. On the control panel, press Menu.
