1st you need to define a host name for the printer in /etc/hosts, add the next 
line to /etc/hosts

10.155.135.3	hplj-cp4520

Then verify network conectivity with ping

ping -c 4 hplj-cp4520

Now, create the spool directory and errors-log file

mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520
chmod 770 /var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520
touch /var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520/errors-log
chmod 660 /var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520/errors-log
chown -R daemon:daemon /var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520

Next, add the printer definition to /etc/printcap

LaserJetCP4520|lp|HP LaserJet CP4520:\
        :banner.disable:max.blocks#0:tty.device=:\
        :remote.host=hplj-cp4520:remote.queue=raw:\
        :spool.dir=/var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520:\
        :spool.log=/var/spool/lpd/LaserJetCP4520/errors-log:

Since the HP Color Laserjet Enterprise CP4520 accept the languages

HP PCL 6
HP PCL 5c
HP postscript level 3 emulation
Direct PDF printing version 1.4

You should test with one file of that languages, I do not know if plain text 
can be printed without a text filter (input-filter)
