We need more information.  Which version of Linux.  Which tool did you
use to try to set it up (jetdirect doesn't exist as a Linux tool).

You would use "redhat-config-printer" or "redhat-icon->System Settings->
Printing" from the GUI.  In the "queue type" section, make sure you
have the queue type set to "Networked JetDirect".  In the two boxes
below enter the IP address of the printer and the port 9100.
