I'm assuming you run a single subnet (192.168.x.x/24 or such) behind a
router, so an ubuntu host can typically "scan" for a given printer in
settings, assuming the printer actually got an ip address and routing
(wifi security can be troublesome). It should respond to ping, and can
usually find
You still have to actually ADD a new printer. I am assuming Ubuntu here
but I would bet it is nearly the same for every Linux Desktop. When you
do, select network printer and the printing setup will probably find it.
If not you might have to doing it manually from the IP. I've never had to

Use nmap to find your printers (pretending your network is 192.168.1.X:
nmap -p 9100 -p 515 -p 631 192.168.1.1/24
You may have to install nmap though.
In fedora related distributions you'd go to system -> administration ->
printing (I think)

I have tried going to my Linux system "Control Center" where
