While you are connected try localhost:631 and give your root password. Check "Show printers shared by other systems" and try "Find Printers". If it can find the printer you probably will have to tell it the protocol and port information, which the sysadmin gave you. I've never tried it, so it's pure guesswork - I can't even step through the pages as I'm not in your position. You can always Add Printer manually, if the Find doesn't work, but again you will need to know protocol and port.
