hi

it seems that at this page you can find what you search
http://www.hp.com/cposupport/networking/software/hpwj_linux_en.tar.gz.html

when you have configured your printer, you can put a new printer into
your /etc/printcap.

:hp_printer|rp=PRINTERNAME:sh:rm=192.168.0.1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/HP

this is a configuration you can enter to the printcap.you should replace
PRINTERNAME with the name of the spooler on the printer.

I hope this help
