How to add a network printer in Linux

Using command line, how would I add a network printer to a Linux server? I tried "lpadmin -E - h (server name) -d (printer name) and I received a connection refused response. What am I doing wrong?

The syntax is:

lpadmin -p queue -v device-URI \
-P PPD-file -E

Examples:

lpadmin -p ps -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -P \
/usr/share/cups/model/Postscript.ppd.gz -E

lpadmin -p ps -v socket://192.168.1.0:9100/ -P \
/usr/share/cups/model/Postscript-level1.ppd.gz -E
