i have a network printer connected on my server running windows 2003, the ip add is 10.210.1.15, i would like to know how can i find the mac address of the printer. i can't find it on the machine itself.

Hmm, why do you need this?

If you know its IP address (maybe from the configuration page), you can find out the MAC address using "arp":

E:\>ping 10.0.0.2

Pinging 10.0.0.2 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 10.0.0.2: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=255

Ping statistics for 10.0.0.2:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
E:\>arp -a

Interface: 10.0.0.1 --- 0x2
Internet Address Physical Address Type
10.0.0.2 00-14-38-5d-c4-9a dynamic

The Physical Address 00-14-38-5d-c4-9a is the MAC address.

I need to add the network printer to the reserve ip address pool on the server and it ask for its mac address.
Infact i managed to sort out the prob, all i needed to do was to ping the printer address and then run arp from cmd.
Thanks
