Your post is much too vague. What does your wireless printer advertise? You should be able to add it using its IP address in the CUPS interface like this: http://192.168.1.3. You need to replace 192.168.1.3 by the IP of your printer and http://could be socket:// lpd:// or something else... Maybe you also have to specify a port number like this: http://192.168.1.3:9100. If you can setup the printer in another OS (for example Windows); you might be able to find these by examining the properties of the printer.

thanks for your reply
the problem is that the printer have dynamic ip so if restart it it get a new ip and then it will be not dicovered by cups
and i setup before with manjaro ubuntu fedora opensuse and archlinux before i reinstall it (fresh install)

Are you saying that you successfully installed it before? How? For the dynamic IP, you can probably configure your printer or router so that the printer have always the staticIP (within your NAT).

djalel, there are many possible reasons why cups doesn't discover your printer.

Start with https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS#Local_Network and tell us the results you get.
