Thanks for your responses.I was able to discover few printers which are
connected via apple talk but i was unable to discover the printers which
were connected via IP. How do I discover printers connected via IP on the
given network.

If the printers support Rendevous then, as other have pointed out, Rendevous is what you need to read up on.

If the printers are IP printers, but do not support Rendevous, then there
is simply no discovery protocol available. The printer is (likely) an lpr
printer. lpr is output only; they don't talk back.


At that point, you can only do manual "discovery" (i.e. ask the user ;-)

That would also be a good time to post your question to the printing list. The printing engineers might be able to give you some tips from their side of the fence.
