In /etc/printcap do this:

lp:\
        :sh:\
        :mx#0:\
        :rm=192.168.0.253:sd=/var/spool/output/carnegie:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:


This sets up lp (the default printer) as being the remote machine 192.168.0.253
and it has a spool area on this machine in /var/spool/output/carnegie

Next you have to go to the printer and via its knobs tell it what IP and netmask
to use, and enable TCPIP. That's about it. This works on a HP Laserhet 4500N.
