How can I explain?
HP jetdirect is almost a protocol to itself using port 9100... and makes sence using it if you have hpnp software installed ( the jetdiredt printer installer etc...)
but you jetdirect box can also be used as a host (proof do a telnet to its IP...) and so you can configure a remote printer but its not the same as "network printer" remote printer has no idea of what printer is at the remote end and so will not know what to do with options like -onb -olm8 -oc etc...
Did you have a look at CUPS? -> Common UNIX Printing System

All the best
