Yes you do unless you want to use LPR protocol. As you know the CUPS 
normally uses  IPP protocol for communication over the network which is 
not supported by native LPD spooling system.

You also have to add the file  client.conf inot /usr/local/etc/cups with 
the server name which can be IP address. Something like ServerName 
192.168.0.2.

Check the documentation http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html
