[Installation] not able to find printer

[Maegoofy]

I am a new be to the kubuntu system, and I'm trying to install my printer but I'm having issues actually installing it. The computer sees the printer's driver and description but it isn't finding either the connection or the location.2
lpd://66.188.205.113/queue and it is not a basic plug in play and it gives the options and has the driver there sounds like i might have to install the with a http or other options since my connection is set to dchp

Thanks for the help and any good options

You are not clear. What is the make and model of your printer? How are you attempting to connect to it, USB or Wireless? What software have you added or removed in an attempt to connect it?

lpd://66.188.205.113/... dchp

68.188. 205.113 looks like a an Internet address, with a big I, but your mention of dhcp implies a local network, which would usually be 192.168.*.* or 10.*.*.*.
If that is an external IP, Kubuntu won't find the printer on a LAN like that. IME the easiest way to connect is to use a router's functions to fix the printer's address on the LAN, (so that it doesn't change as different devices come and go) then let Kubuntu find it by searching the LAN.
