Might want to check this doc:

6. Click
Next and select the
Custom radio button and then click
Settings (see graphic).
7. The IP address and printer name boxes will be filled-in already. Click the LPR radio button
(This will be set to RAW by default) and type-in “
lp� (that is lp ((“lema paul�)) not ip. This
must be lower-case, without the quotes) in the LPR Settings Queue Name box. Also click
the “
Enable LPR Byte Counting� radio button. This will allow for some error correction
while printing.

Next,
Finish. Now, select
Have Disk from the driver selection menu and

Next, change the name if you wish or leave as default, click
Next and click the “

Next and
