Explanation

A hardware print server manages the network connection between the printer and the network. Printing a configuration/status page from the print server itself will display the print server's network settings, including the IP addresses of connected printers. A printer self-test page (A) shows the printer's own internal settings, not necessarily the print server's network addressing. A factory reset (C) would erase configuration, not reveal it. PING (D) requires already knowing the address you want to test.
