  3. Type Cd\, and then press ENTER.
  4. Type Ipconfig /all, and then press ENTER.
  5. Write down the IP address of the print server computer.
    Note
    The output for the Ipconfig /all command may resemble the following:
    Windows IP Configuration
    Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : MachineName
    Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : DomainName.com
    DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : DomainName.com
