It should talk to 9100.

Install foomatic and put something like:

lp-color:\
        :mx#0:\
        :af=/usr/pkg/share/foomatic/ppd/HP/HP-OfficeJet_G95-hpijs.ppd: \
        :if=/usr/pkg/bin/foomatic-rip: \
        :lp=9100%lp-color.astron.com@localhost:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp-color:\
        :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp-color/log:\
        :sh:
