Generally, you'd do that with CUPS (or with HPLIP if it's a Hewlett-Packard printer; HPLIP does the CUPS set up for you). If you don't have an H-P printer, you'll need the appropriate printer description files that came with the printer (not the Windows stuff, the PPD files).
Network printers are best done using a fixed-IP address rather than DHCP; this will work fine if you address the printer below the first address DHCP hands out. DHCP addresses generally start at 100, you can safely use a lower address as fixed-IP; e.g., 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.20 and so on. Make an entry in
/etc/hosts for the printer something like this
Code:
192.168.1.15 InkJet
then you can refer to the printer by that name (InkJet). Your intranet addresses may vary, of course, but that's the idea.
Hope this helps some.
