Adding a wireless printer in ubuntu 12.1

The disk is of no value to you. It has WIndows drivers on it.

Can you ping the printer's IP?

Not sure, how do I ping the ip?

in a terminal. You will need to find the IP of the printer. You can then run:

ping ip.of.the.printer

When I try to ip the printer it says unknown

This is what shows

rocky@rocky-Aspire-5810T:~$ ip printer
Object "printer" is unknown, try "ip help".
rocky@rocky-Aspire-5810T:~$ ip help
Usage: ip [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }
       ip [ -force ] -batch filename
where OBJECT := { link | addr | addrlabel | route | rule | neigh | ntable |
                   tunnel | tuntap | maddr | mroute | mrule | monitor | xfrm |
                   netns }
       OPTIONS := { -V[ersion] | -s[tatistics] | -d[etails] | -r[esolve] |
                    -f[amily] { inet | inet6 | ipx | dnet | link } |
                    -l[oops] { maximum-addr-flush-attempts } |
                    -o[neline] | -t[imestamp] | -b[atch] [filename] |
                    -rc[vbuf] [size]}
rocky@rocky-Aspire-5810T:~$ ip route
default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 proto static
169.254.0.0/16 dev wlan0 scope link metric 1000
192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.101 metric 2
rocky@rocky-Aspire-5810T:~$ ping 192/168.1.1
ping: unknown host 192/168.1.

I type ping printer in terminal and got this number
66.152.109.107

The IP should be in the same same subnet of your wireless. Probably 192.168.0.X
