vbe is correct.

Before diving into "answer" the OP needs to inform everyone exactly how the printer is connected to the server.

Serial? Parallel? USB? Network? Hamsters?

What are you using to install the printer? CUPS?

Code:
https://www.cups.org/

What are you using to view the status of the printer(s)?

These are some of the basic questions SergevdH needs to address to start to solve his problem.

For example (from above ref);

Code:
SETTING UP PRINTER QUEUES FROM THE COMMAND-LINE

CUPS currently uses PPD (PostScript Printer Description) files that describe printer capabilities and driver programs needed for each printer. The everywhere PPD is used for nearly all modern networks printers sold since about 2009. For example, the following command creates a print queue for a printer at address "11.22.33.44":

lpadmin -p printername -E -v ipp://11.22.33.44/ipp/print -m everywhere
