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
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?
If you have physical access to the printer take a look at the printer's configuration menus or have the printer print it out. You can try pinging the printer by name to see if it responds or if you have access to the print queue configuration information it will be listed there.
DHCP uses the clients MAC address to determine the IP address a client receives.

If you are attempting to find how the virus came to infect your system, then you need to determine the IP address that the virus came from. How you determine the IP address will depend on the method of transmission that the virus uses. Once the IP address has been determined, you can use a reverse DNS lookup to determine what domain the IP address is associated with and a WHOIS to determine who operates that domain.
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.
