And magicfilter or apsfilter if you don't have a postscript printer.
I've seen most people here suggest magicfilter. I came from suse, too and was
used to apsfilter, so I used that. No problems. the apsfilter setup program is
called apsfilterconfig in Debian, standard is SETUP. There seem to be some
name clashes. IIRC it's configured automatically upon install.
