In the print manager (System|Administration|Printing) you can provide
the printer IP by using

ipp://<ip address>/:631/printers/<printer name>

So, in Gutsy & the Print Manager:

If you have a shared printer on another machine:
  New Printer
    Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)
     Host: enter IP address of the target machine & click "Find Queue"
      Select the printer from the queue

If you have a direct connect IP printer (a printer using the ethernet
interface instead of the USB):
  New Printer
    Other
     Enter device URI: ipp://<ip address>/:631/printers/<printer name>
Example: ipp://192.168.1.105:631/printers/Myprintername
