To manually add a printer by IP address and avoid error 1797: Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners. Click 'Add a printer or scanner'. Wait for it to search, then click 'The printer that I want isn't listed'. Select 'Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname', click 'Next', enter the printer's IP address, and follow the prompts.
