How to find a printer's IP address

Bernard -

Hello, I bought a Samsung Xpress C460W printer, which is supposed to work via WIFI and NFC (printing from the phone via wifi).

I can only print from the computer connected with a USB cable.

Question 1: the printer does not work via WIFI with my computer, why? It seems that I need to configure a IP address for the printer, but where can I find it?

Question 2: when I place my phone (iPhone 5S) on the NFC antenna, I can see the printer's network in WIFI, but it asks for a password. Where can I find this password?

Thank you for your answers and happy holidays to everyone.

    Thank you for the proposed response.
    I'm making progress, I've reinstalled the CD and configured it (I had installed it by default with the USB cable). I'm not a pro in IT, which is why I'm here asking questions.
    Now, I still haven't managed to find the code for my iPhone and other tablets to print via Wi-Fi, noting that all my devices recognize the printer over Wi-Fi but that I need to find a code to connect them.
    Thank you for your help.

    To find out how to configure the printer on the network, the easiest thing would be to read the manual, which is no longer provided because nobody ever read it...
    You should have a CD or a web link.

    Then, printing the configuration page (long press on the printer's test button) tends to work pretty well, but it depends on the model.
    Once you have the IP, you need to connect and reconfigure the printer.
