If your printer is on your network and is set to get its ip by DHCP, your router's utility program ought to display the address. For instance, you would go to your router's ip (usually something like 192.168.0.1) and log into the router with the admin password and dig around for the list of devices that are connected.
In Windows you could also open the printer's control panel and find its network name. If you know its network name you open a command prompt and ping the name. In this example, you can see that the printer's name is "kodakaio":
C:\Users\JSB>ping kodakaio

How do you find an IP for a printer
A printer is assigned an IP address when used in a networking environment and only if it is used with a printer routing device wich will assign the printer an available IP address from the main router to share it over the network.
IP Address
The IP Address identifies a PC on a network. Source: I am an IT student in College :)
IP addresses are normally assigned dynamically by the router.
Typical printers do not have an IP address, unless it is shared on a network with either a print box, or throught a CAT5 cable directly into the printer. If your printer has CAT5 connection, the IP address will be in the setup menu of the printer. If you are using a print box, you'll have to refer to the manual of the print box, as there are many different types. If you are just sharing a USB or Parallel printer on a network, your printer does not have its own IP. It uses your PC's IP to connect to other PC's
It depends on the printer you have. But basic instructions are to log into the default IP Address of your home network's router /modem. put the IP address into your printer and have the network access key.
I assume when you say "Pinging Address" you mean the IP Address? If that's the case, the majority of printers with this capability have a way to print out a Network Configuration Page, the IP Address will be displayed on that page. What type of printer is it?
Menu > Configure Device > I/O > Embedded JetDirect Menu > TCP/IP > Manual Settings > IP Address
The IP address could be anything, since it is assigned as a function of connecting to a network. If the printer is connected to the network, you can find the current IP by printing a configuration page. Check the printer manual for specific procedure to print the configuration page.
A "host" is simply any point that has an IP address. Typically a computer, but it may also be a printer, a switch, a router port.A "host IP number" is an IP number that can be assigned to a host. This excludes the first and last IP address of each network, which can't be assigned to hosts.A "host" is simply any point that has an IP address.

More than likely yes. if the printer is setup dhcp (dynamically) it will obtain a new ip from the router. if the printer has been set with a static ip (permanent) the ip will not change. Just depends on your current configuration.
It should just work. Check the printer's user manual - you probably need to set up an IP address for the printer (assuming an Ethernet/TCP/IP network) on each workstation that needs to access the printer. There are about five~seven steps involved, and you will need some info, such as printer IP address and printer name (both of which you assign), as well as the manufacturer's drivers for your particular operating system.
