I need the external IP address of printer

[loisthorne]

Hello,
I use an online software host. They put print jobs into a queue and send them directly to my printer. I just got a new printer. The software host needs it's "External IP address" I have my internal IP address. I pinged the printer and got my internal IP address instead of the printer's. I am on a home wired network running through a modem and router. Can anyone help me out?

Do you have a static IP address on your router?

Do a port forward on your router to your internal IP of the printer and bob's your uncle.

If you have a Dynamic IP then you might want to set-up a DynDNS account to make your network accessable from outside your network and then do the port forwading.

Port to be forwarded should be 9100 but not 100% sure. Just google it.

Have fun
