How can I setup a printer, printing to this printer using an IP address only. The operating system is Win 98.

Just go to add a printer and then choose network. When it asks for the path type in the IP address. Then continue by adding the printer driver. Make sure you have access to the printer or rights. Is this on a network?

This printer is on a network just hanging out there, not setup on a server. The answer to this didnt help. The OS system kept finding the printer to be off line when in fact it was in the ready state.

You haven't said if you are useing a print server but to use an IP address you almost have to have some kind of printserver. If you have a hp printserver HP has a great program that allows you to setup a printer via IP address or IPX/SPX and use the printserver built in machine address.
