where is the printer in switch

[Mary]

I got a printer IP 10.20.1.3, may I know which command to check which interface it is assigned to? show ip arp return a blank line

If you know the mac address, you can look for it in the mac address table.

"show mac address-table" 

It will show you the port that it's coming out of...

show ip arp return a blank line

Have you entered the 'show ip arp' command on the layer-3 device for subnet 10.20.x.x?

If so, you could simply ping the printers IP from that device in order to create a new ARP entry and follow John's advice then with the reported MAC address (optionally: show mac address-table address <MAC-address>).

Hello

I got a printer IP 10.20.1.3, may I know which command to check which interface it is assigned to? show ip arp return a blank line

On the L3 switch
Ping 10.20.1.3
sh ip arp | in 10.20.1.3 ( this will return the ip address and related mac-addresss

sh mac-address adrress xxxx.xxxx.xxxx ( this will show you the either the interface the printer its attached to or the interface of the next device to check.)
