An IP address is a unique identifier that identifies any devices on a network including wireless printers. This address helps other devices on the network communicate with the printer correctly.

So, if you are trying to add a wireless printer on a computer or make adjustments to the printer’s settings, you need to find its IP address.

On Windows computers, you can find the IP address of the printer through the Windows settings or Control Panel. Besides, you can also view the IP address on the router portal or printer’s display panel.
