Typically it listens on port 9100 and will just accept raw printer data
there. I use this in /etc/printcap for a hp laserprinter:

# HP Laserjet with JetDirect ethernet card
lp|HP|HP Laserjet:\
        :lp=9100@hp:sd=/var/spool/output/hp:\
        :mx#0:sh:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

That's enough to just "lpr *.ps" (or ctrl-p in firefox), which is my main
application. In your case you probably want to investigate CUPS in
pkgsrc/print/cups.
