If I have the IP address of a network printer, how can I get its name using the command line? With the GUI tool system-config-printer
the printer's name and IP address shows up in the list.

nmap surely accomplishes the tas, see the line http-title
$ nmap -A -T5 192.168.73.10

Very likely that you didn't wait long enough for the nmap command to complete. The following command took nearly ten minutes at my office network:
nmap -A -T5 175.30.4.1/24 2>&1 | tee nmapscan.out – Troy Folger – 2017-03-14T22:13:42.427
When I run the nmap command it never seems to complete. The only output I get is Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-10-20 16:52 CEST

You have a connectivity problem in your LAN, not a problem with your printer. – MariusMatutiae – 2013-10-20T15:01:18.760
How come the GUI tool system-config-printer
can get the name of the printer then? – August Karlstrom – 2013-10-21T11:19:40.530
Have you tried
lpinfo -v -h ${ip_addres}:631
? – Cristian Ciupitu – 2013-10-19T20:25:06.790@CristianCiupitu Thanks for the input but this gives me the same output as
lpinfo -v
; the socket URI with the IP address is displayed but not the name of the printer. – August Karlstrom – 2013-10-19T20:41:13.760ping -a should work, among other things. – Debra – 2013-10-20T00:33:13.417
@Debra
ping -a
gives me the same output as without the-a
, i.e. no hostname. – August Karlstrom – 2013-10-20T14:59:21.087Good to know, though odd -- "ping -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is supposed to resolve the address to the hostname, and I often use it that way. Perhaps because it's http? – Debra – 2013-10-21T02:32:10.323
