1) First identify the interface of the printer, my one is having Eathernet Interface.
2) Accordingly you may guess how you would connect your printer. e.g : If it is having an USB interface it may be directly connected to the computer. If Eathernet interface it would be connected to a Network add as a Network printer (TCP/IP).
Below i asssume the printer as TSP800 Star Printer having Eathernet Interface.
3) Before adding your printer as a network printer you have to find out the IP address of the printer. Most of the printers at the first time are configured upon DHCP , so it may assign an IP for itself dynamically. For proper and ease of use you have to assign a static IP for the printer.
4) In case of finding the dynamically assigned IP address of the printer , the only way you have to follow is printing the self test page which would contain each and every information of the printer statistics. (Note: when you take a self test page just press the feed button once just as you turn on the printer, do not press consequently as it may lead to some problems. While printing it may suspend in the middle, do not think it as a problem, it is because of the time taken to identify information of the network card in built to the printer)
5) Now you can go to the printer interface (web page) using the IP found in the test page. (http://ip of the printer) . This will led to access the system access interface of the printer in case of assigning a static IP
6) Use defauld username and password as in your test page. otherwise (root , public). This would carry you to the system access interface. There you can assign a static IP to the printer.
7) You are almost done : Now add the printer as a TCP/IP printer.How to add your printer as a TCP/IP printer is listed here http://www.tamu-commerce.edu/ctis/help/tcpipprinter/default.htm. Note: use the ip address you assigned in step 8. Port would be assigned automatically.
8) Print a test page to test your printer. You are done :)
