when I go into "add network printer" it does not find it
The "add network printer" is (effectively) for Ultimaker printers only. Though just about any printer that has a USB port can be controlled with the same "protocol", just about all printer manufacturers came up with their own protocol to communicate via the network. Cura only knows about the Ultimaker network printing protocol.
There are some plugins that add other network printing protocols (eg via OctoPrint, Moonraker/Klipper, Creality Cloud), but even those generally don't integrate with the "add network printer" UI but have you connect Cura to the network printer in some other way.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
