Step 1: Configure network settings in your computer (if necessary)

When you set up your printer on a network, be sure to select the appropriate settings from each station's control panel or via a wizard where available.

For example, if you're setting up a local printer connected to a wireless network, select "sharing" under "Additional Sharing Settings." This will ensure that any one user can print without having to configure it anew for each one.

 

If you are looking for a way to colour print in something other than black or white, it needs cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink. Cosmetically speaking these are called “process colours” but they are anything but mundane. They can be combined with red or blue to create different shades of any colour. Process colours usually contain pigments that contain many materials that make up the spectrum of light – which includes everything from red light to violet.

Clearly, if you've already configured the computer for which you are looking for the IP address to print wirelessly, then no special settings were needed and it should appear in your network control panel's list of connected devices. You can simply select it and view its IP address that way.

You'll be taken to each device's properties page. Double-click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" in the list for your computer (or choose it from the dropdown). It should look something like this:
