First you need to know the IP address of that printer server and the port numbers of the different printers. Then you just go into CUPS (http://localhost:631), choose Add Printer, and go through the choosing printer options, when you get to Connection you use: "socket://192.168.0.104:9100" where the IP address and port number (ie 9100) are appropriate to each printer. For more information read the Online Documentation at that CUPS page.

Yes. You probably should read this first: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cups
