You still have to actually ADD a new printer.  I am assuming Ubuntu here but I would bet it is nearly the same for every Linux Desktop.  When you do, select network printer and the printing setup will probably find it.  If not you might have to doing it manually from the IP.  I've never had to do it that way though.

I recently added a Canon wireless printer to my Linux network and set it

But I cannot figure out how to be able to print to the same printer from
my Linux systems on the same network.

I have tried going to my Linux system "Control Center" where I see my old
LaserJet printer, but not the newly added printer. Tried "Refresh" but it
still does not find the newly added
Canon printer.

Also, how can I find a list of the IP numbers for the computers, tablet,
tivo, printers, and any other devices on my system?
