This depends on what and how the printer is atttached
to/by.

If on a printer cable to a computer that has it shared
then you need to use \\computer-name\printer-sharename
where the IP address of the computer can be use instead
of the computer-name. 2 ways to Check, in the networking
on the properties of the TCP-IP protocol loaded. Fastest
way is to go to the command prompt and type
ipconfig....hint: don't do it at the RUN option..the
screen will flash to quickly to be read. RUN COMMAND
then type ipconfig an press enter.

If your printer is attached using either a built-in
printserver (like Lexmark Optra-XXn printers then look on
the front of the printer and go through the menu to find
the IP address. For a print server box you have to find
the documentation on how to determine the current IP
address...worst case you will find a way to reset the box
to the factory defaults. Hope this helps.
