I've heard rumors it is being worked on. :-)

But if the printer has an ethernet (cat5) jack on it, one would normally 
assume it has an address someplace in the 192.168.x.x subnet, and that it 
probably is programmable, in which case cups can just export it to that IP.  
Any open port on the router should be good for that.

OTOH, maybe I don't understand the nuances of how a printer equipt with a 
cat5 connector works, and I can be safely ignored.  I do not have such a 
printer myself, mainly because my now very elderly Epson C82 seems determined 
to use the last tank on ink for it on the planet before it dies.
