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.
