Sorry Ron,
once on that page search for JetDirect.
It should take you to "Initial Printer configuration".. then Choose
"Configuring a network printer and adding a queue"..

You need a driver for your printer e.g.
printers.hplj-4000.rte
and you need the jetdirect support:
printers.hpJetDirect.attach

check with lslpp -l

My 2 cents,
Armin
