The answer is yes you can.

I can't remember if this printer has an in built jetdirect card or not, if it hasn't you can buy one.

Then you can either download the jetdirect software from the web and install the printer through the software

or

for a basic setup you can just and the ip address of the printer to the /etc/host file and add the printer queue like so.

lpadmin -p (printer queue name) -s ( Host name of printer)

i.e lpadmin -pmyqueue -sofficeprinter

To test the printer key in
lp -dmyqueue /etc/group

NAME
lpc - line printer control program SYNOPSIS
lpc [ command [ parameter(s) ] ] DESCRIPTION
lpc provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues. If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc displays a prompt and accepts commands from the standard input. COMMANDS The lpc program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley lpc program of the same name: exit Exits the command interpreter. help [command] ? [command] Displays a short help message. quit Exits the command interpreter. status [queue] Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues. NOTES
Since lpc is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible to use lpc to configure printer or class queues provided by CUPS. To configure printer or class queues you must use the lpadmin(8) command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality. SEE ALSO
