Finally issue fixed. Just a couple of things in the lpd options and it is working fine. (I didn't know the printer queue was named PASSTHRU)
Tx for the help ^^

Thanks for the info Joshua, I did what you suggested importing the ppd file from the system-config-printer tool. But anytime I try to print a test page got a busy printer message and nothing happens. I can ping the printer.
Any advise?

I'm trying to install the Xerox docuprint 4517 driver in my centos box but
I
cannot see the driver in the drivers list when I try t add the printer.
- I download the file Linuxi386XPXX_4.00.60.tar from the Xerox site which
is
the printer driver.
- did untar the file in the install directory.
- ran the setup file
- reboot the server
After doing this I still cannot see the driver..
From the looks of things that printer supports PCL5e (and PS if it's the
mp model). Pick a printer that closely resembles it, and make sure it's using the 'hpijs' driver.
If the printer is the mp model and has PS, just download the PPD file from Xerox and either a) put that in /usr/share/cups/model and use 'lpadmin' to add the printer or b) ISTR seeing a "import PPD" option somewhere in the system-config-printer tool.
