However, if that was the case, would all of the other information in the Spiceworks report come through? Is there a hardening measure that only blocks gathering the MAC address and not all of the other items? Also, if that was the case, given that a simple manual HTTP connection reveals the information, how is that any more secure? It seems unlikely that any special efforts were made to harden the printers, since a third of them report the data I need, but I suppose I cannot rule that out. Beyond that, I would like to understand why those printers are not returning that info, so if it is something I can do to change that. It would save time to be able to pull the data automatically, since we're talking about 70 printers with no MAC data being automatically gathered. When I did that for Office Printer 10, the MAC address matched one from one of the mac address table from the switches, so I know it connected to Closet 1, Switch 5, port 29.
I can certainly http to many of these printers, and manually enter the mac address into my tables.

I don't understand why Spiceworks can see the serial number but not the mac address. When I go to that printer via HTTP, I can click on Device information and see the Serial number and MAC address with no need to admin login to it. However it does not provide the mac address. For example, on Office Printer 10, the Spiceworks reports lists Name, Manufacturer, Device Type, Model, IP Address, Serial number and Location data on that printer. At this point I will likely just manually identify and key in the MACs for those printers but I really want to understand why they are not being identified in the scans.Įverything is running through Cisco C2960s.

The printers that are not returning a MAC address with the IP scan software are the same printers that do not return a MAC in the Spiceworks inventory report. On those printers, the Spicework report includes the name, Serial Number and Location of those printers, but just not the MAC. However I have six others of the same exact model that are not showing the MAC address. I have a Kyocera FS-4200DN that has a MAC address in the report. In Spiceworks, I run the Printers and Copiers report. The laptop I an doing the IP scan from is on the same vlan as the printers. If the switch can get the MAC address of every device connected to it, there should be a way for me to ascertain the MAC address of every network device as well. But as it stands, I have not figured a way to get the MAC address from about half the printers, aside from going out and physically looking at the hardware.

I am replacing the blue patch cables for printers with green ones. This way I can determine which switch and which port is connected to each printer. Link the data from the powershell printerserver script above to flesh out any additional info on the printers not found in the IP scan (such as the comments, location, etc). My thought process is: download the MAC tables from the switches, link those to the MAC addresses found in the IP scan. One specific instance is that I have two printers reporting as hp LaserJet 4250 (HP-ChaiSOE/1.0), one returns a MAC and one does not (in the IP scan).
For example, I have HP printers that show their mac address with the Advanced IP Scanner, and then some of them do not.
But sometimes the devices do not reply with their MAC address.
I use a program called Advanced IP Scanner that returns the MAC address of devices through an IP scan. Bold = $True #= # Get printer information ForEach ( $Printserver in $Printservers ) $intRow ++īasically, I am trying to find out which ports on the switches are connected to printers. Item ( 1, 10 ) = "Share Name" #= $intRow = 2 $WorkBook = $Sheet. Item ( 1, 7 ) = "Driver Version" $Sheet. Powershell $Printservers = Get-Content "c:\users\bweatherley\scripts\printservers.txt" # Create new Excel workbook cls $Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.
