It depends on what the printer supports. You may have to configure it  
the same as a printer attached to a Windows machine, or you may need  
to configure it as a remote lpd sytem print queue. It may also suport  
IPS print services. It may also be a JetDirect compatable device. The  
first thing to do is check the printer documentation and see what it  
supports. You can then configure CUPS to use one of the methods. The  
printer should look like a remote print server of one kind or another  
to other systems on the network.
