About TCP/IP and IP Addresses

Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet
network. Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to
communicate with a network printer. For Macintosh OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred.
Unlike TCP/IP, however, Bonjour does not require printers or computers to have IP
addresses.

With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. Many
networks and cable and DSL routers have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server. A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to every computer and printer
on the network that is configured to use DHCP.

If you use a cable or DSL router, for information on IP addressing, refer to the
documentation for your router.

Installing the Software

Before you install driver software, verify that the printer is plugged in, turned on,
connected correctly, and has a valid IP address. If you cannot find the IP address, see
