Try a broadcast ping, and see who responds.  One of the responses from an
address you do not recognize as something else may be your print server.

Example:

# ping -b -I eth0 192.168.100.255
WARNING: pinging broadcast address
PING 192.168.100.255 (192.168.100.255) from 192.168.100.32 eth0: 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.100.29: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.597 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.100.18: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=1.39 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 192.168.100.41: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=9.20 ms (DUP!)

Ping to a broadcast address usually requires root privilege.
