First we will ned to know how the printer is connected to the network. Is it direct network connect, that is it has a network card built in? Or is connected through an HP jetdirect server? Or is it hanging off a Windows NT server?

setnetlp
setnetlp(1M) setnetlp(1M)
NAME
setnetlp - configure the LP spooling system for network printers
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/setnetlp
/usr/sbin/setnetlp -p printer [options]
/usr/sbin/setnetlp -x printer
DESCRIPTION
The command configures network printers in the LP spooling systems with specified printer model interface file. It is used to add and
remove specified printer that is referred as a LP destinations, change configuration of the printer if the printer exists.
Network printers that support lpd protocol or JetDirect interface can be configured by The command is a shell procedure. It calls lpad-
min(1M) command for lpd printer configuration. It may also call addqueue(1) and removequeue(1) commands for configuring printers with Jet-
Direct interface when the optional software HP JetDirect Printer Installer for Unix is installed on the system.
Exactly one of the -p, -x options or no options must be present for every legal invocation of
-p printer Names a printer to which all of the options below refer. If printer does not exist, it will be created.
-x printer Removes the printer from the LP spooling system. The printer is a LP destination configured in the LP spooling sys-
tem. No other options are allowed with -x.
The following options are required for -p and can appear in any order.
-orm machine The name of the remote machine or IP address of the network printer is machine.
-om model This option selects a printer model interface program for printer. The model is one of the model file name at
/usr/lib/lp/model/* supplied with the LP software or generated by psmsgen(1M). Refer to lpadmin(1M) Models for
details.
One and only one of the following options is required for -p and can appear in any order.
-orp rprinter The name of the remote printer queue that has configured on the remote machine is rprinter. This option is required
to configure lpd printer and can not be used with -jd option.
-jd When this option is specified, configures the printer using commands provided by HP JetDirect Printer Install-
er for Unix
Interactive terminal user interface (TUI) will be invoked when is invoked without any options. At the TUI, values of all options described
above can be set. In addition, for some printer model, defaults of model interface options also can be customized. When HP JetDi-
rect Printer Installer for Unix is available on the system, some recommended initial values for options may be provided for some printer
model. The model customization support feature by is available only for TUI. No customization is performed by non-interactive invocation
of To customize model options for a printer without the TUI, pre-customized model file needs to be generated before running for configuring
the printer.
EXAMPLES
Assuming a LIPS printer supported lpd protocol on a network as remote printer host name lphost and remote printer name lipslp the command:
/usr/sbin/setnetlp -p netlp -orm lphost -orp lipslp -om LIPS4
causes the spool system to use the local printer netlp and the local model file LIPS4.
