About TCP/IP and IP Addresses
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.

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.
