How to find the MAC address of a printer network-interface?

In Windows 10 there's a very simple command, to find the physical address of an assigned IP-address.

For this, you simply need to open a console window by typing CMD.
Once in the console, type the following command:
C:\>arp 172.16.1.11 -a
Plain text


Knowing that 172.16.1.11 is the IP address from the printer, you will get the following output:

Interface:            172.16.3.145          --- 0xd
Internet Address Physical Address Type
172.16.1.11 00-50-56-a4-68-d0 dynamic
Plain text

 

So in this case, you have now found the physical address: 00-50-56-a4-68-d0

This is the MAC address of your printer's network-interface...

 

An alternate way is -assuming the printer is connected to a router- you can access the router's administrative control panel- you can verify all connected devices. Each active device, as well recently connected devices, should list the IP address as well as the MAC address.
