How To Find The IP Address Of HP Printer? 7 Easy Ways

Once you connect your HP printer to a network, the router assigns it an IP address as a unique identifier. Without the IP address, your device wouldn’t know the desired hosts to send the print requests.

This address is required whenever you want to share the printer over the network or troubleshoot your printer. You can easily use the “HP Smart” app to find the IP address of your HP printer. Besides, there are also several other ways to get the IP that we will be discussing in this article.
