I'm trying to find the MAC address for my network printer using cmd.
I've tried using nbtstat -a (ipaddress) and it says host not found. But the IP works when I ping it. Is there another command that can pull the information for me?

In Windows, if you know the printer's IP address, you can use "ping" and "arp /a" to find the same information. You will need to do some searching. If you don't mind clearing your DNS cache with "ipconfig /flushdns" the list will be shorter.
I used nbtstat -a as well. If you know the IP of the printer you can do nbtstat -a {IP address}, without the brackets of course :). It'll kick back the MAC address of the device associated with that IP
