If it has a JetDirect card, you can access the print engine at port 9100.
I prefer the lprng-package wich allows the following entry:
mylaser:\
lp=laserjet%9100:\
sd=.....
if=....
(etc)
where laserjet is the hostname of the network card. Note that the lpr,
lpc, lpq, lprm, lpd binaries must be suid root to access privileged
originating ports, which are required by the JetDirect Cards.
The above printcap entry is doing well for a LaserJet IVSiMX and a
LaserJet III, both equipped with JetDirect's.
