Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you want to print a PDF file to your HP Photosmart C4795 printer, you need to connect your printer to your network and find its IP address. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Connect Your Printer to the Network

2. Press the wireless button on the printer to access the wireless menu.
3. Select "Wireless Settings" and then "Wireless Setup Wizard".
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.

2. Find the Printer's IP Address

Once your printer is connected to the network, you can find its IP address in a few ways:

Method 1: Print Network Configuration Page

1. Press the wireless button on your printer.
2. Select "Print Network Configuration" or similar option. The network configuration page will be printed, and it will include the printer's IP address.

Method 2: Use Your Router's Web Interface

1. Log in to your router's web interface. This is typically done by entering the router's IP address into your web browser.
2. Navigate to the "Connected Devices" or similar section.
