   When your Mac communicates with your IP-capable printer the message 'Valid and complete address' appears below the Address field. If the message 'Invalid or incomplete address' appears, make sure the IP address is properly entered and that it is the IP address configured on the printer. Next, your Mac establishes an IP connection to your printer and displays 'Gathering printer information…'. It then selects the associated printer driver in the Print Using menu.
   If your Mac is able to communicate with the printer, but it is not able to automatically determine the print driver needed, choose the option 'Select Printer Software…' from the Print Using pop-up menu in the Add Printer window. Enter your printer model in the search field to quickly find the appropriate driver. If the model of printer is not listed, but your printer is a PostScript printer or PCL Laser printer, try the 'Generic PostScript' or 'PCL Laser printer' driver options. Generic printer drivers may not let you access all the features of your printer.
