You shut now the local IP-Adress. If you work in a Company ask your Administrater about die IP of the printer. If you are in a local home Network, you can find out the IP over the Router. Look at the Manual of the router an find out the IP of them, then typing the IP in the Adrefield of a Browser. You will connect on the Router. Ther you searching for the Printer IP. (Look tho the rauter manuel how). If you found the Printer IP, you can typing this in a field by add LAN Printer. Ubuntu shut be able then, to found it.
