Need info on networked printer

I don't need feedback on what kind of POS a Brother printer is. I do
need about 2 seconds of hand holding on using a Brother HL-5170DN in a
unix environment. We print all day to printers connected to windows
computers from a *nix server. I have NEVER used a free standing printer
ever with filePro, and I really never found a howto in the archives that
I have found. How does one address networked printers? Is it just like
printing to windowboxes via samba (////IP.AD.DRE.SS//PRINTER_NAME)?
Or is it a LPR only deal. Which is something I've never done.
What's even more unusual about this printer is that in the PDF on
Brother's website they even mention that printer works with RedHat,
Suse, Mandrake, Debian.
Sign me "in new territory".
