	there is a JetDirect card that does multiple protocols, 
	including IP.  if you have one of those, you can use
	this printcap:	

lp|woc4SiMx:\
        :lp=:\
        :rm=woc4SiMx:\
        :rp=raw:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd:

	where woc4SiMx is defined in /etc/hosts
