Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to communicate with a
network printer. For Macintosh OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, Bonjour
does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. Many networks and
cable and DSL routers have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically assigns an IP address to every computer and printer on the network that is configured
to use DHCP.
If you use a cable or DSL router, for information on IP addressing, refer to the documentation for your
router.
