Default For the ip gurus How to get ip address if you only have the mac address

Here's the scenario.....

We have a couple of D-Link print servers. We can determine the mac
address from the label on the underside, but we think thet we must have
given them fixed ip addresses (back in the mists of time).

Is there a utility we can run (windows or DOS i'm afraid) that will
return an ip address and or hostname given a mac address?

We've tried looking in DHCP, but there is no record (which is what
leads us to suspect it's got a fixed ip).

We've tried looking in DNS, but can't find it there either).

Have had a look in Google, but whilst there's plenty of people asking
the question, no one seems to have come up with an answer :=((

Any ideas?
