Explanation

To install a printer on a network so that computers can communicate with it, the printer must be assigned an IP address. Network communication relies on IP addressing (Layer 3) to route data between devices. Computers and print servers use the printer's IP address to send print jobs over the network. A MAC address (physical address) is used at the data link layer for local network communication and is automatically assigned - it does not need to be manually configured for printer installation. An access point is infrastructure hardware, not a printer configuration setting.
