Finding a printer/print server located on remote subnets

If the printer and print server are located on another network (called a subnet), you must manually enter an IP address
during printer software installation.

IP addresses
Finding IP addresses
An IP address is a unique number used by devices on an IP network to locate and communicate with each other.
Devices on an IP network can only communicate with each other if they have unique and valid IP addresses. A
unique IP address means no two devices on the same network have the same IP address.
How to locate a printer's IP address
You can locate the printer's IP address by printing out the printer's network setup page.
How to locate a computer's IP address
1 Click Apple menu ΠSystem Preferences.
2 Click Network.
3 From the Show pop-up menu, select Airport.
4 Click TCP/IP.
The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.100.
Assigning an IP address
An IP address may be assigned by the network using DHCP. The print object, created at the end of the installation,
sends all print jobs across the network to the printer using this address.
Many networks have the ability to automatically assign an IP address. Auto-IP is the ability for individual devices to
assign themselves a unique IP address. Most networks use DHCP to assign addresses.
