How do you get a printer's IP in lion?

Question

How did you find out an existing printer's IP in lion?

In Snow Leopard you can do it in this way:

How can you do this in OS X Lion?

How can you "change" the IP address on an existing printer without starting over and adding the printer again. I am having an issue with and HP7310xi, I use to have the scan feature show in the print & scan preferences menu but now I can get an Added printer to show the scan icon next to the printer icon. — , Jul 19 '13 at 20:52
if its connected to the network, you should be able to see it on your home network overview, say on your router? — OzzieSpin, Sep 12 '16 at 08:28

Use the built-in CUPS web interface to get detailed printer information:

On newer versions of macOS you'll need to run the following command to enable the web interface:

cupsctl WebInterface=yes

It's disabled by default, but if you're comfortable with text files you can always "sudo less /private/etc/cups/printers.conf" and get at everything. – Tomer Gabel Jan 13 '14 at 14:48

Web Interface is Disabled
The web interface is currently disabled. Run "cupsctl WebInterface=yes" to enable it.

It is a lan of printers..

This doesn't seem to show an IP address if the device is connected through Bonjour. – Neil Steiner Jun 10 '17 at 19:02
