Michael, I do not understand your message as written. However, what I recommend is that you look for the manual online. Maybe if you provided the printer's model etc. someone may have one and can help. Unfortunately your asking for help to connect a printer to a network before it can be connected to your Mac, which honestly is rather involved. The issues are: 1. Is the wi-fi turned on. 2. It probably is setup for dhcp, but if not, there may be a default address. 3. Does it have an ethernet port, so you can connect directly to the router and perhaps do the basic configuration? 4. If a touch screen, it may required sighted assistance for the initial setup.
My impression is your dealing with a new printer. If this printer has already been connected to the network and other machines have been sending print jobs, then that is another issue and something easier to address.
