Your quesiton doesn't make sense. If it's a networked printer, then by
definition, it's not hosted on any box. Just plug it in, set the IP
address and go (most come with a build in Unix and SMB print daemons).

If it's hosted on a box, then it'll usually be connected via the parallel
port, and the hosting box will handle the queueing/spooling.
