Mine uses the router IP (although that's more because it is a print server as well). First I would check the router's status page to see what devices it says are connected, e.g. 192.168.0.2 - Desktop, 192.168.0.3 - laptop, 192.168.0.4 - printer. Once you know the printer's IP you can use: localhost:631 to access the web front end. Then follow your nose to add a printer :) You'll probably end up with something like lpd://192.168.0.4/lp - where lp is the queue name.
