Many network printers have a screen to let you set ip, etc., but some don't. Then, there are 2 possibilities: 1. you have to use the utility coming with the printer to do the initial setup: ip, gateway, etc. 2. the printer uses dhcp. Then, you need to run something (coming with the printer) to "find" that printer and use it. I have been used both cases for several different printers, but those utilities coming with the printers are all for windows, not for linux. Hongwei Li
