I'm looking for a way to find all devices (especially printers) in the local area network (LAN).
Is there are way to differentiate between printers and other devices (smartphones, laptops, computers, etc.)?
To see all of the devices connected to your network, type arp -a in a Command Prompt window. This will show you the allocated IP addresses and the MAC addresses of all connected devices.
To check IP address of the local network on the Android device: Go to Settings → Network & internet on the tablet and select Wi-Fi. Tap the name of active network and expand the Advanced section. Find the Network details field with the local IP address.
What if you try this? http://jmdns.sourceforge.net/
JmDNS is a Java implementation of multi-cast DNS and can be used for service registration and discovery in local area networks. JmDNS is fully compatible with Apple's Bonjour.
