No IP Printer option in Printer Setup Utility

Hey-
Trying to add a print server and instructions say I need to add it as an IP printer. I go into:

- printer and fax settings

- add printer and there is no IP printer option. There is HP IP printing and epson TCP/IP but no IP printer option.

I have mac intell running 10.4. Where can I find IP printer option and how can I install?

If you open System Preferences > Print & Fax and click the + button, the Printer Browser from the Printer Setup Utility will appear. The Printer Browser has two options appearing at the top of this pane, Default Browser and IP Printer. This would be what the instructions were referring to. Under IP Printer, you have three default protocol options, LPD, IPP and HP Jet Direct (which is port 9100 printing). So it will be one of these three protocols you will be expected to use.
