These days the printer should be found automatically. But yes, specifying an IP address does work. > I have no idea because the HOST name to me refers to the name on a 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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630272 Title: The "Official Documentation" for Ubuntu 16.04 does not include correct instructions on installing Printers.
