It will be tested on my mate's M$Win & LAN & printer.
So that I can visit the office, with the portable headerless rPi, before
the office-girl arrives to use here WinTelPC.

Perhaps if I phone a Win-user, he can tell me if/where his system shows
the printer's IP, and how to ask the office-girl to 'get it' - from her PC.

The following initial google seem optimistic for 1 or both of the printers:--

This seems similar; but I'll use an eth0 cable.
Surely there are utilities to plug the rPi's eth0-cable into
the LAN and get the printer/s IP?
And don't these printers have a simple mode, where they
accept an ASCII string, like the old printers did?
==TIA.
