This is probably not the right way to do it, but it has always worked for me, no matter what printer we are using:

Install all printer drivers from the AIX CD's using
Code:
smitty devinst

Instead of adding a printer, add a print queue using
Code:
smitty mkpq

and choose hpJetDirect as the printer type.

EDIT: Corrected spelling of hpJetDirect
