finding ip address of network printer

I am running windows 98 om my computer and am wondering if
there is a way to find out the ip address of the printer
that I use this computer with to print on. I have no
problems printing, I just want to assign this printer to
another computer but have no idea of how to find its ip
address. I am hoping to find it by using the a computer
that already prints with it.

any help would be much appreciated!
thanks
ryan

Ryan...

I can presume that you are not using a print server...(if not the following
should apply , I think?)

If this is the case, there is no IP for your printer, just go to ADD printer
on the machine you want to add it to, and choose NETWORK printer, browse for
it, double click it and go through the ok and next prompts, you may have to
have the installation disk handy for the printer files to be installed...
thats it.

If your using DOS apps, you will (may have to) capture an LPT port for it...

One last thing, make sure you have Printer Sharing enabled in the machine
that prints now, and SHARE the printer, this way you will find the printer
from the other machine

Regards
Alan
