It trurned out this printer is set up to accept direct HTTP
connections, so I can print easily via web interface.
LPD is disabled on this printer by the printer administrator, but
SMB is allowed, so I think printing via apsfilter is also
possible. In addition NetWare and AppleTalk can be configured
on that printer, but I'm not sure if it helps printing from
FreeBSD.
