Description John Dykes 2023-12-14 02:06:23 UTC 
SUMMARY
In the printer settings, there is no information on the IP address/hostname of the printer. Since printers often have a web page for modifying the settings, this would be useful information to show in the printer settings. I believe macOS does show a link to the web-page for a printer in their settings.

To be more user friendly, along with the IP address of the printer, one could detect if the printer has a web-page and if so, show a clickable link to it.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a new printer in systemsettings
2. View the printer

OBSERVED RESULT
no IP address or hostname.

EXPECTED RESULT
IP address or hostname of the printer, or an http link to the web page.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 John Dykes 2023-12-14 02:12:54 UTC 
The "configure" menu does contain a URI like this:

dnssd://HP%20LaserJet%20MFP%20M28w%20(CA1473)._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid={UUID}

but the user would need to resolve this manually to get the actual IP. Adding some code to resolve this and show it to the user shouldn't be too difficult.
