These days the printer should be found automatically. But yes, specifying an IP address does work.

I tried both methods, and they both found the printer. On my LAN my Epson workforce pro 4530 is "epson-wp" at 192.168.111.110. However with both methods it seemed to find and list it about 70 times.
Things do seem somewhat messed up with this process, and I have yet to successfully install my network printer on my Yakkety test LapTop computer.
