Note

  • If you select IPv4/IPv6 and search, each of a printer's IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) may appear as a different printer in the search result. Select either one and add.
  • If a printer connected over a network does not appear, check that the computer being used for search and the printer are on the same subnet. If not on the same subnet, check the printer's IP address, and then specify the IPv4 or IPv6 address and search.
