Okay so somehow I got the IP address on the printer to work and now I can print from my computer! So that's a good sign, but still can't print from any device. The printer still fails to show up. Any ideas now?

Hi abuser32,
You will need an AirPrint compatible printer for you to print from your iOS devices. You can read about it using the link below.

However, you may use the ReadySHARE Print feature of your router as a way for you to print from your iOS devices. This will require you to connect the printer to the USB port on the router instead of the Ethernet port. You may check the link below for reference.
