You need to find the PPD for your printer and install it (the /lpd/ dir is not created by default on Ubuntu; so if it is not yet there create it).
sudo mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/
sudo dpkg --install {printerfile}.debThe command to add a printer is
lpadminBut you will need to add a lot of options to this command that are specific to your printer. Help will show you:
lpadmin [-h server] -d destination lpadmin [-h server] -x destination lpadmin [-h server] -p printer [-c add-class] [-i interface] [-m model] [-r remove-class] [-v device] [-D description] [-P ppd-file] [-o name=value] [-u allow:user,user] [-u deny:user,user]You will need at least a name and an IP. Without any more information about the printer a detailed answer is unlikely.
lpinfo -mshould show make and modelshortest version:
lpadmin -p '{name}' -v 'socket://{ip}' -m '{make}{model}' -P '{path/to/the/printer.ppd}'
The GUI is a lot easier though. It has several automated settings (like scanning for printers).
