I need to install a network printer Kyocera ECOSYS M2035dn in Kubuntu 16.04. There are several identical printers in our local network:



enter image description here



enter image description here



In file properties, there is no IP address of these devices:



enter image description here



When I try to add a printer through CUPS page, there is also no information about ip address:



enter image description here



I could try adding all printers and print the test page, but I don't want to disturb my colleagues. How can I add a printer, knowing its IP address?

    KM3C991.local seems to be the name of your printer, try the command ping -c1 KM3C991.local, it should show the ip of the printer.
