Adding a network printer using commands


I need to print files off a Linux server.

I need to add a network printer to a computer I only have command line access to.

I was wondering how I would go about doing this?

What would the command lines be and what would I need to do?

Would the easiest thing not be to scp the files to a machine, say your workstation, and print them from there?

I need to batch print every time a file is loaded up by ftp
and would much rather write a batch script and set a cron job on the server if I could
