print over printer IP Address

Does anyone know how to print to (or set up) a printer on Windows2000 by just knowing the Printer IP address, and also by just using VB script? I know how to do it by using Windows wizard, or how to set up network printer by knowing \\PrinterServer\PrinterName using script. But how about doing it by just knowing printer static IP address, like 129.13.114.8? I've done some search for several days, but still no clue. Does anyone have experience on this? Thanks in ahead ;-)
I believe you can substitute the IP address of the printer with the printer name. I know it works on boxes running XP Pro referencing systems, but I am not sure about printers. Wouldn't hurt to try it.
\\PrinterServer\129.13.114.8
Let me know if that works or not...

Yeah, I tried this before, didn't work. The key point is our customers don't use printer server. If they do, that'll be simple. When they initially install printer, they don't install it to printer server and share it. So, if installed in windows wizard, they can get standard TCP/IP port, then set it up. But now I need to do it in VB .net application, don't know how to realize it by script. Anyway, thanks for your help ;-)
