You could try something like:
avahi-browse -ar
and look for the printer in that list. It'll show you the IP address
that Avahi (bonjours/rendevous) got for it and the ports it's using. For
example, an Officejet Pro 8600 here at the office shows up as an IPP
printer:
= eno1 IPv4 Officejet Pro 8600 [E956C6] Internet Printer
local
hostname = [HP2C59E5E956C6.local]
address = [192.168.1.65]
port = [631]
txt = ["Scan=T" "Duplex=T" "Color=T"
"UUID=1c852a4d-b800-1f08-abcd-2c59e5e956c6" "note="
"adminurl=http://HP2C59E5E956C6.local."; "mac=2c:59:e5:f0:54:76"
"priority=20" "usb_MDL=Officejet Pro 8600" "usb_MFG=HP" "product=(HP
Officejet Pro 8600)" "ty=Officejet Pro 8600"
"URF=CP1,MT1-2-8-9-10-11,OB9,OFU0,PQ3-4-5,RS300-600,SRGB24,W8,DEVW8,DEVRGB24-48,ADOBERGB24-48,DM3,IS1-2"
"rp=ipp/printer"
"pdl=application/vnd.hp-PCL,image/jpeg,application/PCLm,image/urf"
"qtotal=1" "txtvers=1"]
Also as a Unix spooling printer:
= eno1 IPv4 Officejet Pro 8600 [E956C6] UNIX Printer
local
hostname = [HP2C59E5E956C6.local]
address = [192.168.1.65]
port = [515]
txt = ["Scan=T" "Duplex=T" "Color=T"
"UUID=1c852a4d-b800-1f08-abcd-2c59e5e956c6" "note="
"adminurl=http://HP2C59E5E956C6.local."; "mac=2c:59:e5:f0:54:76"
"priority=52" "usb_MDL=Officejet Pro 8600" "usb_MFG=HP" "product=(HP
Officejet Pro 8600)" "ty=Officejet Pro 8600"
"pdl=application/vnd.hp-PCL,image/jpeg,application/PCLm,image/urf"
"rp=RAW" "qtotal=1" "txtvers=1"]
And as a PDL printer:
= eno1 IPv4 Officejet Pro 8600 [E956C6] PDL Printer
local
hostname = [HP2C59E5E956C6.local]
address = [192.168.1.65]
port = [9100]
txt = ["Scan=T" "Duplex=T" "Color=T"
"UUID=1c852a4d-b800-1f08-abcd-2c59e5e956c6" "note="
"adminurl=http://HP2C59E5E956C6.local."; "mac=2c:59:e5:f0:54:76"
"priority=40" "usb_MDL=Officejet Pro 8600" "usb_MFG=HP" "product=(HP
Officejet Pro 8600)" "ty=Officejet Pro 8600"
"pdl=application/vnd.hp-PCL,image/jpeg,application/PCLm,image/urf"
"qtotal=1" "txtvers=1"]
And its scanner bit shows up as:
= eno1 IPv4 Officejet Pro 8600 [E956C6] _scanner._tcp
local
hostname = [HP2C59E5E956C6.local]
address = [192.168.1.65]
port = [8080]
txt = ["feeder=T" "flatbed=T" "button=T"
"UUID=1c852a4d-b800-1f08-abcd-2c59e5e956c6" "note="
"adminurl=http://HP2C59E5E956C6.local."; "mdl=Officejet Pro 8600"
"mfg=HP" "ty=Officejet Pro 8600" "txtvers=1"]
It also shows up as web sites on the same IP and both ports 80 and 8080
(administrative interface). Not all of them would have that.
