I'd just use the CUPS WebUI [http://{yourhost}:631],  just add the
printer as an app-socket / 9100 device.   Most likely, unless your
JetDirect is very old or has some features disabled, CUPS will present
the printer as one to add automatically [it already knows the printer is
there and just needs the admin to configure it].
