Setting up Airport and printer

I just set up an airport station in my dorm room. I have internet and thats fine but we connected a printer to it. My roommate has a mac and the printer works fine. I am having trouble getting the printer to work. I added a printer, selected local printer, created a tcp/ip port 10.0.1.1 and put in the printer driver disk and navigated to that driver to use it but no printing happens. Maybe the ip address is wrong? How do I determine what the proper ip address should be?

Almost certainly the IP address is wrong. Where did you get 10.0.1.1 from?
You need the same IP address as the Mac is using to connect to the printer.

That was the ip address from the manual. I don't know what ip address the mac is connecting to it from, it just said Airport, it doesn't say what the ip address of the printer is as far as I cna see
