You only need to register your printer if you want to use it via Wi-Fi. If it is connected to your computer via USB cable, you don't need to register it. To find your printer's MAC address, one of the following steps normally will work: 

  1. Check your printer’s manual. 

  1. Print a configuration page (test page) from your printer. 

  1. Refer to the label on the back of the printer. 

  1. Refer to your printer manufacturer's web page. 

Outcome: You should now be able to find your Wi-Fi printer's MAC Address.
