Tony, The confusion stems from the fact that the 4000N comes from the factory with a Jet direct card installed ... that's what the N means in the name. Apparently somebody took it out somewhere along the line before you got the printer. Anyways I have about a half dozen NetportExpress boxes attached to various printers at work (mostly the old PRO 100 variety). In cups you need to setup the the printer as being LPD with the destination queue on the remote box being either LPT1_PASSTHRU or LPT2_PASSTHRU depending on what port the printer is hooked up to.
