I have a Brother DCP-7065dn printer scanner connected to my LAN.
Sadly, it requires a proprietary driver. I've installed that.

I asked the System Settings: Printers to set it up (add the printer).
The SS:P found the printer (so it must have found its IP address) and
added it. But the SS:P was only willing to configure it with the IP
Address "localhost". Not surprisingly, printing didn't work.
I even tried telling SS:P the printer's IP address, but it ignored
that and used localhost.
That's odd. What output does this command give?:
su -c 'lpinfo -l -v'
(I'm hoping it lists the network printer there...)
