Unfortunately, I was not able to find ANY way to determine the IP

If I go to http://localhost:631/printers/
I should say I got to that URL from the CUPs interface at
http://localhost:631/ then clicking the 'Admininitation' tab at the top
followed by the 'Manage Printers' button on the page that showed.
Here is what I have on that page:

Of course it looks like crap when I just paste the text from the web
page into an email. But if you ignore the horrible formatting, you
can see there are NO IP addresses here.
If I go to a single printer's page, I get text like this:

Maybe I need to amend the question to "How is one supposed to figure out
which autodetected printer is which IN A CORPORATE NETWORK OF UNKNOWN
PROVENANCE?" I don't know what I need to say to convey to you that
my workplace's network DOES NOT work like what you see on yours.
Looking at the stuff that I pasted here, how am I supposed to know whether
this corresponds to the physical printer with IP address 10.76.172.100?
