You should be able to print via a simple "print printername filename"
command if you have the right stanza in /etc/qconfig defining the printer
name (don't forget the -naix argument for talking correctly with a non-AIX
print server).  The stanzas I have are:

foo:
	argname = foo
	friend = TRUE
	device = foodev

foodev:
	backend = /usr/bin/lprbe -statusfile -pserver=hostname -pqueue=printername -naix

This worked fine for me...  (lprbe is the "lpr back end" program for AIX,
which lets it talk the correct UCB protocol, I believe.)
