Apple recommends adding a networked printer, which is visible via Bonjour. The default installation of Lion does not have very many printer drivers pre-installed. I went to the printer manufacturer's site and found that I should be able to get the driver through Software Updates on OS X, though this only works either on USB or on a printer available via Bonjour. What can you do if the printer is networked, but not available via Bonjour?
I was trying to add a networked printer manually using LPD protocol and discovered that the driver for the printer was not available in "Select Printer Software" under "Print Using." Finally found that Apple has a bunch of drivers for various printer manufacturers available for download from the Apple Support site:
Installing drivers from here, should make them available in the Printer Software box.
