For my network printers I use IPP. So my device URI would be something
like ipp://192.168.0.x/ipp (assuming the printer supports ipp, which I
think almost all do). You still have to indicate the make/model/driver
for the printer.
If I try to connect to my network printer directly via KDE's printer
configuration interface, it gives me a device URI of
lpd://x.x.x.y/queuename - which is incorrect seeing as LPD is not even
installed on my box. Simply changing the URI to the IPP one fixes
things for me.
HTH.

Hi All,
Having a challenge& hope someone can find the solution for me, because
like a pine tree in last Sunday's wind storm...I am stumped at this point.
I recently connected an old HP LaserJet 6L to an external JetDirect box
& added it to the network. I assigned it a static IP of 192.168.7.11&
looking at the details in WebJet Admin the other network stuff is fine.
I can connect it via a Windows 7 machine, but I cannot seem to add it to
Lisa's computer which is running Unbuntu 11.04.
I have tried adding it through the applet& by going to localhost:631.
I can add it& choose the drivers& all that good stuff. But when it
comes to printing a test page it just hangs in the queue. I have tried
a number of variations in adding it, but it doesn't seem to want to
print. I can ping the IP from both Windows& Linux& it sees the IP
address just fine with no lag on response times. I have tried to access
the JetDirect via a browser, but all I get is 503 Service Not Available.
I know it does print, because I have printed from a windows box& it
recently printed from that same Linux box when installed as a local printer.
Any ideas?
