I installed CUPS a part of the standard istall long ago.

Worked fine. Bu tnow it doesn't.
The printer seems to hae changed its IP number.
Now I can tell it explicitly what IP numder to use by entering stuff in its
physical control panel. So all I should have to do is to set its IP number to
whatever CUPS (now unsuccessfuly) uses to talk to it.
What I don't know is how to get CUPS to tell me what IP number it currently
thinks
belongs to the printer.
There should be some simple way of asking CUPS to tell me this.

If you go into the cups web control panel at
http://localhost:631/printers/?
if it is on the local machine
or
http://WHATEVER_THE_CUPS SERVER_NAME_IS:631/printers/?
if it is on another machine
THEN:
select the appropriate printer and you should see a
Connection socket://address
which would be the address of the printer
As an alternative you can try:
sudo grep PRINTER_QUEUE_NAME /etc/cups/printers.conf
on the machine running cups
Hope this helps
Ken
