Cups cant find printer on network

Hi,
Hoping someone can help with my printing issue.
I installed cups
started service
  systemctl --now enable cups.service
and went to http://localhost:631/   and logged in as root.
then admin>add printer>  But there is no printers listed.

I noticed Im or root  are not in the cups group.  so added root to cups
  sudo usermod -aG cups root

but still no network printers.

The printer is detected on other computers on the network.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: ftr, root doesn't have to be in any group, root is god.
