Not actually "avoided."  Most companies make their drivers for SOHO printers to 
work in vanilla mode, so it's not needed; and if you try to use it anyway, the 
driver has no idea what you're doing because you're not doing it in the way IT 
wanted to do it.  (HP printer software, in particular, is notorious for "my way 
or the highway.")  

The IP Printer setup is mainly available as a fallback for strange printers 
that don't work any easier way.  In your case, we've established that the IP 
Printer option doesn't work for you anyway, but we have to assume there is SOME 
option that works.
