IMO, the fastest and easiest way is this.

It started out as the same netcat script & recipe everyone knows from Tony 
Lawrences site, but then I took it just a little further and made it so you 
don't have to copy or edit any scripts, and it works with most or all of the 
installed printer interface scripts, so you aren't limited to copying and 
modifying HPLaserJet, you can have a netcat or lpd "proprinter" or anything 
else.
All you do is in the printer manager, add local, select Net for the model 
and /dev/null for the device, and make a matching config line in 
/etc/printers.

Installation is just "unpack the tar in the root dir"
The special interface script, the netcat binary, the sample /etc/printers 
all unpack into their correct places at once.
Usage notes are on the web page and in /etc/printers
