How can I scan the local network for connected devices? (Mac OS)
I'm basically looking for something like this but available on Mac.
I am trying to connect a new workstation to our wireless multifunction printer and I'm having a hell of a time getting the device to spit out an IP for me to connect to.
Is there a way I can scan the network somehow?
If it makes a difference, the new workstation is using Mac OS X 10.6.

Can someone explain why/how this works? You ping the broadcast and this causes all the other connected clients to commit network activity which is then visible to arp ??

@deweydb when you're on LAN, connecting to an IP involves resolving the IP into a mac address. ARP keeps a cache of all resolved IP addresses. Doing a broadcast ping indirectly triggers a resolution for all IPs on the network. Now... how can we resolve the list of IPs into DNS (or other) names?

Where x.x.x is the first three numbers in your ip address.
for ip in $(seq 1 254); do ping -c 1 x.x.x.$ip -o ConnectTimeout=5; [ $? -eq 0 ] && echo "x.x.x.$ip UP" || : ; done

On a Mac here, had to slightly adjust your answer as the timeout is set using the-t
option (for instance-t 5
for a 5 seconds timeout)

Right, that also didn't work for me. On the Mac you not only need to use the -t 5 option, but also move it to be before the ip. i.e. -c 1 -t 5 x.x.x.$ip. Otherwise it'll error and bomb out.

Your printer provides a file share for dropping files into or are you just trying to locate the printer on your network?
Does your new multifunction printer support Bonjour/ZeroConf? (Most new network based printers do) If so you can use a program such as Bonjour Browser to see what is available on your network.
On your router does it appear on the DHCP Clients Table (you may have to consult your manual to see how to see this table) - as this will also give you the IP but will also let you know for certain that your printer is actually connected to your network.
From your Mac itself you can use a program such as Nmap from the command line or use a GUI based app (eg. Zenmap - GUI for Nmap or AngryIPScanner) to scan your network and then see what ports are available.

To add to @Chealion's answer, if your printer supports Bonjour, you should see it in the "Nearby printers" list on the "Printer" pop-up menu of the "File > Print..." dialog sheet, or in the printer browser you see when you go to "Add Printer...". So many multifuction printers from the major manufacturers support Bonjour nowadays, that I'm surprised when a printer doesn't just automatically show up on those places I mentioned.

Description:
loop from 1 till 254

Once installed you can run it with:

It is apparently closed source so I don't know how safe it is to use. Make sure you are aware of potential risks.

On the Mac, there is IP Scanner, which looks has a GUI that aggregates arp, bonjour, NBT and some other network scanning technologies.

IP Scanner is useless as it has a 6 device limit, then they want $30. Avoid this.

Once installed you can run it with:
sudo fing
It is apparently closed source so I don't know how safe it is to use. Make sure you are aware of potential risks.

Fing (mostly known as a mobile network scanner for android/ios) has a freely available macos console version which additionally does some fingerprinting via built-in mac address manufacturer tables. It appears to be faster than nmap and easier to use.

IP Scanner is useless as it has a 6 device limit, then they want $30. Avoid this.
