About TCP/IP and IP Addresses
Computers and printers use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over a network. 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.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. Many networks as well
as cable and DSL routers have a DHCP server A DHCP server assigns an IP address to every computer and
printer on the network that is configured to use DHCP, automatically.
If you are connected to the Internet using cable or DSL, check with your carrier for information on IP
addressing.
