Something (usually a router) has to assign a TCP/IP address to the printer.
I have no idea whether your modem can do such a thing. If it can, you
simply install the ip4000 as a network printer.
If it's got no TCP/IP address, then you're very stuck. I cannot magically
make a modem perform DHCP if it's not in its firmware.
