Ethernet:

Optimus can print directly to network printer without Optimus Print Service. On selection of this option, the system will ask for IP address of that printer and enter 8043 in port number field.

Check if the printer is in the network. Open terminal and ping IP of the printer. If connection times out, then the printer is not connected to the network.

Check the IP and port in the terminal configuration.

As stated in Terminal Configuration, In ethernet printing, the IP field should contain the IP of the printer instead of the machine itself.

The port should be 8043. If it doesn't work, find the port in the printer utility (can be opened by typing the printer IP in the address bar of the browser)
