CentOS search/scan LAN printer IP Address

CentOS search/scan LAN printer IP Address

Suppose there is a network printer at 192.168.10. *, but we don't know its address. One stupid way is to enter 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.254 in the browser to check whether the management page appears.

Another idea is to use command scanning. The default port number of the network printer is 9100. You only need to find the host on which the port is opened.

First, make sure that the namp tool is available. If not, install it.

Run the following command:

Nmap-p 9100 -- open 192.168.10.1/24

The output is similar:

Nmap scan report for 192.168.10.xxx

Host is up...

PORT STATE SERVICE

9100/tcp open jetdirect

Then 192.168.10.xxx may be the printer.
