No.

If you are moving to MPE native spooler network printing, you define the
printer ldev in SYSGEN (or IOCONFIG) and then define the IP address and
other attributes in NPCONFIG.PUB.SYS as documented in Chapter 3(?) of the
Native Mode Spooler manual.

If you are using a third party utility to access network printers, then
typically (but each product presumably documents their specific procedure)
you configure the ldev as a pseudo-device in NMMGR making it look like a
serial printer (perhaps on a non-existent DTC) and then configure the third
party software to pick up spoolfiles from the pseudo-device's spool queue
and print them across the network.
