Does this printer have an internal JetDirect card?  If so, then it
should be as simple as selecting "AppSocket/JetDirect" when setting up
the print queue on the Linux box (if you're using the web interface for
CUPS).  If you're using lpadmin, you can use "-v ipp://hostname/ipp/" or
"-v lpd://hostname/printer-name".

For example:
lpadmin -p <printer-name> -v ipp://hostname/ipp -E -P /path/to/ppd/file
or 
lpadmin -p <printer-name> -v lpd://hostname/printer-name -E
-P /path/to/ppd/file

Hope that helps!

Tim
