After entering the IP address of the printer you are using in [Address], you can select the printer driver corresponding to the printer from [Print Using]. If you choose to do this, skip step 5.
If you are using OS X Lion, and the printer you are going to use is connected using IPv6 when entering a link-local unicast address, set the network interface as required. In [Address], add "%" to the end of the address, then add the network interface.
IMPORTANT
If you are using OS X Lion, although there may be a message saying that you have entered an incorrect address even if you enter the correct address for IPv6, you can still register the printer.
NOTE
If you are using a printer that is connected using IPv6, you can enter an abbreviated notation unicast address. Also, when entering a global unicast address, you can set a DNS name. This option is only available if a DNS server that supports IPv6 has been specified beforehand in the network settings for the computer you are using.
