Finding Printers

Using Cups 1.4.6, Find New Printers capability on Linux (Gentoo in particular), finds printers just fine, but it shows their model (I assume) and if there are multiple printers of the same model withing discovery distance, you cannot differentiate them.

These are corporate printers, so I don't have the option of changing their settings. Is it possible to display the IP address or hostname of each printer, to assist in disambiguation?

Thanks in advance.
