Look at HP printers and you will find that the 4050 is supported a
number
of "different" ways including HPT, which means there is already WSCST
set
up for the printer(use *HP4000). This assumes you know somthing about
HPT.

We would need to know how this printer is "physically attached" in order
to be of more help.

If not, time to start reading up on this fairly complex subject.
