You mean a printer server box or a printer with an ethernet interface?
Then you have to install a printer on your local machine and when you
install it you select to create a new printer port, a standard tcp/ip
port, where you type the ip address etc for the printer.

After these steps it is possible to share the printer on the local
machine and then attach an LPT port to the shared printer using e.g.
"net use lpt1 \\computername\printername".
