   Very simple to do. By the way, in linux this is considered a network 
printer not local. local in linux usually means connected with 
usb/serial/parallel directly to the computer.

   In KDE - simply click K menu -> Control Center -> Peripherals -> Priners

   Click Add Printer/Class

   Follow the wizard (click next) and choose Network Printer (TCP) (or 
possibly Network Printer w IPP if you printer offers IPP support).

    The wizrd will guide you - have the IP address of the printer handy.

good luck

   [If you are running gnome I am sure there is something in main menu for 
printer setup - it should be fine too]
