Give it a name in your host table and then use that name in your printcap file such as ":rm=psrvr:\". I have an old Brother HL8e that is attached to a printserver called "psrvr". It could have been attached to the FreeBSD system but that caused more problems than it solved. With the printsever, I could print to it from all of my OS'es and not have to worry about downloading softfonts and etc. I have a small script that forces a form-feed at the end.
