Your jetdirect config should look like this:

   ===JetDirect Telnet Configuration===
        Firmware Rev.   : G.08.04
        MAC Address     : 00:10:83:5b:ea:69
        Config By       : DHCP 

        IP Address      : x.x.x.x
        Subnet Mask     : x.x.x.x
        Default Gateway : x.x.x.x
        Syslog Server   : x.x.x.x
        Idle Timeout    : 90 Seconds
        Set Cmnty Name  : Not Specified
        Host Name       : foo.domain.com

        DHCP Config     : Enabled 
        Passwd          : Enabled 
        IPX/SPX         : Disabled 
        DLC/LLC         : Enabled 
        Ethertalk       : Enabled 
        Banner page     : Disabled 

And your printcap should look like this :

hp|hp1100|hp4050tn:\
        :sh:\
        :lp=:\
        :rm=foo.domain.com:\
        :rp=lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp4050tn:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
        :if=/usr/local/libexec/psif:\
        :mx#0:\
        :rs:

The /usr/local/libexec/psif is a shell script like this:

--START--
#!/bin/sh
#

read first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ]; then
        echo "$first_line" && cat && printf "\004" && exit 0
        exit 2
else
        ( echo "$first_line"; cat ) | /usr/local/bin/a2ps --quiet --portrait -1  --no-header --output=- --sides=duplex && printf "\004" && exit 0
        exit 2
fi
---END---

You will need a2ps (/usr/ports/print/a2ps-letter) installed to make this
work.
