the printer's IP address is assigned through DHCP.
A gateway can either be a router or a Windows computer
running
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). For more
information about ICS, see the documentation that came
with the Windows computer.

Printing
Computers on the network send print jobs directly to the
printer, which prints them in the order received.
The printer can accept print jobs sent simultaneously from
four users.
For example, if five users each send a print job to the printer
at the same time, the printer accepts four of the print jobs
and rejects the fifth. The user who sent the fifth print job
should wait a few minutes and then resend the print job.
