Wireless printing

Thank you for reading this.

I'd like to set up a printer wireless network connection. It was a 
simple task to add the printer to an Ethernet connection, so if all else 
fails I do have a network connected printer.

It wasn't until after I got the printer working wirelessly under Windows 
that Kubuntu was able to detect the printer and this is the connection 
that was assigned:

dnssd://HP%20LaserJet%20100%20colorMFP%20M175nw%20(7B433F)._ipp._tcp.local/

However, when I attempt to print something the system is unable to find 
the printer. If I then attempt to add a new printer again the printer is 
not found until I power the printer down and then back up again. A 
connection is again assigned but the printer is again not found after a 
test print has been attempted.

Should the connection include the IP address? I have a fixed wireless 
address for the printer.

Phil
