What is my IP address?

Your IP address is a unique number that identifies your device on the internet. ipnow detects and displays your public IPv4 and IPv6 address at the top of this page automatically.

How do I find my IP address?

The fastest way to find your IP address is to open ipnow.dev — your public IP is shown instantly. No app, sign up or technical knowledge required.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 is the older 32-bit address format (e.g. 99.33.79.49). IPv6 is the newer 128-bit format that provides many more addresses. Many devices now have both.

Why does my printer keep going offline?

Often because its local IP changed via DHCP while your computer still expects the old one. Assign the printer a static IP or set a DHCP reservation on your router so its address stays constant.

How do I access my printer's web page?

Type the printer's local IP (e.g. http://192.168.1.20) into any browser on the same network. This opens the printer's embedded web server for status, settings, and ink/toner levels.

Is my printer IP the same as my computer IP?

No. Each device on your network has its own local IP. Your printer and computer have different local IPs, but they share the same public IP when reaching the internet.

What is my printer IP address?

A network printer has its own local IP address (e.g. 192.168.x.x). It is not the public IP above — here is how to find your printer's local IP to add or troubleshoot it.

Your public IP address

216.73.216.157

IPv6Not available

This is the address that websites, apps and online services see when you connect. ipnow doesn't store or log it.

Location

Network & ISP

Location is estimated from your IP address and may differ from your exact physical location.

Finding your printer's IP address

Your printer's local IP is what your computer uses to reach it. Here is how to find it several different ways.

Find it on the printer itself

Most network printers show their IP in the control panel: look under Settings → Network, Wireless, or Wi-Fi Status, or print a Network Configuration / Test page. The IP looks like 192.168.x.x. This is a local IP — the public IP shown above is a different, network-wide address.

Find it on Windows

Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners → select your printer → Printer properties → Ports tab (the IP appears in the port name). Or run `ipconfig` won't show it — instead use Control Panel → Devices and Printers → right-click → Properties.

Find it on Mac

System Settings → Printers & Scanners → select your printer → Options & Supplies → the Location or general info shows the IP. Or open CUPS at http://localhost:631 → Printers to see the device URI including its IP.

Find it via your router

Log into your router admin page and open the list of connected devices (often labeled DHCP Clients or Attached Devices). Find your printer by name or manufacturer — its assigned local IP is listed there. Consider setting a DHCP reservation so it never changes.

Printer IP addresses and your network

Why the printer IP is local, and keeping it stable and secure.

Printer IPs are local only

Your printer's IP (192.168.x.x) works only inside your home or office network. It is not the public IP shown above and is not reachable from the internet — printing is a local-network activity.

We never log it

ipnow shows no ads and runs no trackers. We never store or log your IP address on our servers. Geolocation and ISP details are fetched from privacy-respecting third-party providers.

Keeping the printer IP stable

Printers often go "offline" when their local IP changes via DHCP. Fix this by assigning a static IP on the printer or a DHCP reservation on your router, so your computer always finds it at the same address. Avoid exposing printers to the internet.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about IP addresses and how ipnow works.

Your printer has its own local IP (e.g. 192.168.1.20), separate from the public IP shown above. Find it on the printer's control panel under Network settings, by printing a network config page, or in your router's connected-devices list.
