I'm trying to connect directly with my laptop to a printer in my local
school library and I usually accomplish this without joining the domain
by installing the appropriate driver and then configuring it to print
to a tcpip port and then specify the ip address of the printer and it
usually works. The problem is I can't find the ip address of the
printer and the computers available are networked in with the usual
security lock outs so I'm unable to see which ports are used and figure
out the ip address.

Any ideas would be appreciated

thank you
