Hello,

in most cases you have to enter the "IP address" of the printer. You can find out the IP address in the priter's setup menu (if the printer has a display) or by printing a network status page.

What kind of printer is it?

Does the printer have a built-in ethernet connection or is it attached to a printer server box / router with printer port or to another computer in the network?

router with printer port or to another computer in the network..its canon iP4500

In this case you have to enter the ip address of the router - the router's ip address is visible on your Mac in "System Preferences" -> "Network", field "Router".

Add your printer using "System Preferences" -> "Print & Fax" as "IP" printer, protocol "HP Jetdirect - Socket". Enter the IP address and leave the "Queue" field blank.

Then enter an name for your printer (e.g. "iP4500 PrintFab") and choose "Print Using"="Select a driver to use...". Then select "Canon PIXMA iP4500 PrintFab" as driver.
