Configure CUPS. I use CUPS. Maybe you prefer something else. Oh well, I can't help you too much with that. What I can help you with is setting up CUPS. Your in an X session, right? Well fire up your favorite browser. In the address bar, type:
http://localhost:631
It will ask you for a username and password. username is root
and the password is your root password. Everything from there should be easy-breezy.
Just follow along on the web page and add your printer(s). Make sure you print out a
test page for your printer(s) to see if you set them up right. That's all there is to it. I would
also like to remind you that lprng and CUPS don't get along so well. Make sure you
don't have lprng running, if you even still have it on your system. Me, I like to remove
lprng with pkgtool to make sure there are no conflicts.
Now it was pointed out to me that not everyone is as lucky as I am. J.W. over at http://www.linuxquestions.org noted that you may have to install drivers for your specific printer. The drivers for my printers were all included in my full install. If yours weren't, J.W. recommends heading over to http://www.linuxprinting.org to get the ones you need.
