TCP/IP printing
Apple added TCP/IP printing to all versions including and after
OS 8.6.
Note
: Ensure that the Macintosh has version 8.6 or later.
Earlier versions do not support TCP/IP printing as standard.
An IP printer is a network printer that uses TCP/IP protocols
(such as LPD/LPR, IPP, or Socket or Jet Direct) to make itself
accessible to your computer. If the IP printer you want to use is
not listed when you want to print, you can add it to your list of
available printers. To add an IP printer, you need to know its IP
address or DNS name.

Bonjour printer
Usually used in Macintosh networks to search for network
devices, Bonjour consists of IPv4 Link-Local Addressing,
Multicast DNS, and DNS Service Discovery. Known as zero
configuration networking, Bonjour uses industry standard IP
protocols to allow devices to automatically find each other
without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS
servers.
In order to provide a true zero configuration experience,
meaning that you do not need to configure network
parameters, the printer MUST have Bonjour enabled by default.
It is NOT possible to disable any part of Bonjour.
After boot up, check the Bonjour printer name of this printer
network card in Mac OS X.
