Vanja,
I'd check out the LPRng page (www.lprng.com). LPRng works much better for
me than the standard lpr. With a bit of luck you'll find your printer and
installation instructions in the documentation.
The chap who developed LPRng is also extremely helpful. When I hit
difficulties he helped me sort out a solution within a couple of days.
