I'm looking for a means to an end... I'm trying to set up my GIMP/CUPS printer drivers and I need to get the IP address and name of my epson 3000 but I don't know how.
I've looked for network utilities but found none...
what should I do to get that info?

Run the printer's self-test. This should spit out a page showing the printer's configuration including network address.
Alternatively, run a ping scan using Network utility ( /Applications/Utilities/Network Utility ). Specify the start and end addresses of your subnet (typically x.x.x.1 and x.x.x.255) and let it run.

How is it connected to your LAN? If it is through parallel port of your router, your router's IP is it.

I would like to know if there's a program that will draw a map of the network I'm on. I don't even need it (heck it's only a base station and two computers) but I still want it.

There are not tools that I know of that will 'map' a network as in drawing pretty lines between devices, etc.
If all you want to do is find out the IP addresses of the devices on your network I would use the port scan feature in Network Utility as recommended above.
Additionally, I'm assuming you're using DHCP since you don't already know the addresses. If so you can look at the client address table of your DHCP server and see who has what address. Most likely your basestation is acting as the DHCP server but I have no idea if it will show you the client table or not.
Oh and as far as I know the Network Utility app just wraps up various command line tools in a pretty GUI. I tend to only use ping from the terminal though.

Of course there are such tools. See e.g. http://www.neon.com/LANsurveyor.html, there is a demo version (search Version Tracker for other apps).

There's also InterMapper from DartWare
You can specify an IP subnet and it will scan the subnet automatically drawing a map of the devices it finds. If it finds a router that uses SNMP it can also query that router to find its links and subnets, and so on.
A demo version of InterMapper is available. it should should you enough of what you're looking for.
