How can I check the printer's IP address and ping it to verify network connectivity?

Find the printer's IP address through its control panel or network settings. On your computer, open Command Prompt (type 'cmd' in the Windows search bar) and type 'ping [printer's IP address]' (e.g., ping 192.168.1.100). If you get replies, the printer is reachable on the network. If you get 'Request timed out', there's a network connectivity issue.
