try lp1

you need to find the name of the queue from the printers NW card 
most of the time CUPS can browse for one and find it 

IF using the Add printer from the System menu I find you have to be
patient as it can take 5 mins to find one after you have typed in the
host address in the find box

if it's a MFC type it will have printer and  fax so choose the right
one.

In desperation I sometimes use Samba to help find the port.
