These days the printer should be found automatically. But yes,
specifying an IP address does work.

network.

I tried both methods, and they both found the printer. On my LAN my
Epson workforce pro 4530 is "epson-wp" at 192.168.111.110. However with
both methods it seemed to find and list it about 70 times.

Things do seem somewhat messed up with this process, and I have yet to
successfully install my network printer on my Yakkety test LapTop
computer.
