printer will need to have an ip address. verify ip address by - holding down the green button on printer until configuration page prints. there should be an ip address listed.

1. (Vista/Win7)Go to 'Devices and Printers'
(XP) 'Printers' in the control panel
2. Click the "Add Printer".
3. Choose to connect a Local Printer.
4. Create a New Port "Standard TCP/IP'
5. Enter the ip address from the printer config page printed earlier.
6. Select the correct print driver and print test page to confirm installed correctly.

If possible, i would install the printer using the usb. much more straight forward installation.
