network manager and confirm that the IP address of the printer has been
set.

examples. The absolute path of commands and the configuration method
may differ between OS versions, so refer to the workstation manuals for
more information.

For IP address 172.168.20.127 and host name PRINTER:
172.168.20.127 PRINTER
3. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network card.
