A printer and printer system that is capable of quickly acquiring a network address and connection, and quickly reporting the same to the user. The printer is part of a network and is thus configured to connect to the network and communicate with other devices connected to the network. The printer includes a printing unit that prints on paper or other recording medium, and an address acquisition unit, which communicates with one or more of the other network devices over the network to acquire network parameters, including an IP address, for the printer. When a network address is thus acquired, the address acquisition unit causes the printing unit to print the acquired address to so inform the user.
