[dba-Tech] A Linux Printer Setup Question

Hi Colleagues,

I'm working my way through the Intro to Linux course at edX.org. I'm at 
the point where they're teaching about setting up a printer. The 
instructions tell me to indicate the host where the network printer is 
to be found.  However, I have no idea what is meant here by "host."

My Ubuntu is in a VMWare virtual machine.  I want to connect it to the 
printer on my network.  The printer is cabled to the router in my 
office.  What is the host?  What am I really looking for?

Thanks,
TNF
