Most print servers use a special port for the printer, particularly if the 
server will control more than one printer.  Have you checked in great detail 
just how to use the print server?

For example, I have a print server that will handle two printers, and the 
ports than it uses are  4010  and 4020 and the network address is  
192.168.0.12.

You will need both the port number and ip address to access the print.

That's the best I can do with the information you have provided.
