If it's attached to a managed switch you could look up the port or the
in its ARP table. Otherwise you could connect it to a machine with a
crossover cable and watch for outbound traffic with tcpdump.

But, if it's being used as a print server, surely some machine
somewhere is configured to talk to it and you can look in its printer
config?
