These printers need to be rarped in order to get their ip address.
You need to set up rarpd, and entries in /etc/ethers and /etc/hosts
for the printer.

Then things are straightforward: you put an entry in your printcap
just as you would for any printer server.  Here's mine:

lp|HP LaserJet|LaserJet4P:\
  :sd=/var/spool/lpd:\
  :rm=hplaserjet.some.domain:\
  :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
  :st=/var/log/lpd-status:\
  :mx#0:
