you mean just like that, without an associated pc. If one new which port
it listens to one should be able to use nc ( netcat ) to send postscript
or whatever native format data over the network. What does the manual say.
Oh btw do you mean a windows network, then printtools->sambaprint will
work just fine.

p.s. is this the same printer which was having trouble while acting as a
remote printer. ( now I realise the cause could have been a lack of entry
of the print senders ip on the machine hosting the lpd daemon. An ip entry
needs to be there on etc/hosts.equiv ( dangerous) or hosts.lpd on the host
machine.
