How to find all printers on the network?

Question

Computer networks

Hello, I have a problem, I don't know how to approach it. Essence: the company has many geographically remote branches. There are printers, network ones. Printing on them goes directly, not through the print server. Now you need to bring them to the print server. But that's not the problem. Here's how to scan them all, revealing ip and models? Lists, if any, are irrelevant. There are no "hands" in the branches. Is there a scanner utility that can identify all network printers?

Answer 1

I would advise the Kyocera NetViewer utility, it catches all network printers, both its own and those of other manufacturers, a user-friendly interface.

Answer 2

The ideal option, if there are no local poppings on the branches, is to create a report based on portable aida64 or something similar.
Well, or just portable aida64 + detailed, in pictures, instructions on how to create a report, upload it to a text file, rename it to branch-department-employee.txt and send it to [email protected]
+ Collect the results of the latest inventory from OS accountants so that you can somehow compare

Answer 3

If you have Linux, then you can find network printers using bonjour: lpinfo --include-schemes dnssd -v(more details here ).

Answer 4

What printer, scanner, fax? What brand of printer, scanner, fax? Look for printers, scanners, faxes on the office site, you will find software there. You can see on the server what ip the model printers have on the printers themselves.
