Don't know anything about apsfilter, but I have two printers with
JetDirect interfaces. In both cases, you can set the IP address from the
printer's front panel. Look for a menu that says something about "MIO
configure", and then "IP address" under that. Once you've set that, you
can telnet to the printer and set up the rest. The newer HP printers
have an embedded web server, and you can just point a browser to the
printer's IP and configure away using their GUI.

The hostname is whatever you say it is - put an entry in /etc/hosts to
match the IP address you set on the printer. 

HTH.
