is it possible to get the IP address of a device connected via USB? The device in question is a wireless printer, its connect via USB and WiFi, the printer is assigned an IP address and its displayed on the screen of the printer but I want to get the IP address for the printer via the USB port. I have tried the following:
lsusb -D /dev/bus/usb/001/008
Which gets me pretty much every details possible about the printer apart from the IP address. Any suggestions?
If the manufacturer didn't see fit to transmit this information over USB, it is unlikely that there is a documented and reliable way to obtain it. Including the make and model of the printer would do wonders for making your question answerable even in theory. – tripleee – 2015-03-27T11:32:29.527
