Printing to network printers in Linux
First, you have to figure out the IP address of the printer, which you can do by either looking it up in Windows printer properties or walking to the printer and printing the printer configuration from the menu.
If you use the CUPS printer manager at localhost:631, then select the LPD/LPR connection, and print to socket://ipaddress:9100 (e.g. socket://192.168.0.100:9100)
If you use the Gnome printer manager, select the HP JetDirect and type the IP address of the printer in the Host field and 9100 in the Port field
