I think CUPS can do what you are looking for. I have not set it up, but
CUPS uses the Interner Printing Protocol. So you should be able to add
a network printer by pointing to:
http://192.168.1.100:631/printers/printername
You'll want to do some more searching around for more specific details
(as this email is light on details), but I think that will get you
headed the right direction to accomplish what you want.
