I am in a school with probably 200+ computers and I did an IP scan among a certain range and found three or four printers. I was wondering if it would be possible to find these printers in the school, either by using other computers around them and checking their IP address, and narrowing it down that way, or if there was a way to possible map the network using something like NMap, except I don't have the necessary privileges to install a portion of programs like that.
I was just curious as to whether this could be done, any help would be appreciated.

...so, be careful how you tread. If one of my students tried this I'd be surprised (and impressed) but would quietly dissuade them. A school production enviroment is NOT the place to be mucking around.
