There's no happy-administrators-guide for Linux, but, at least your problem, 
can be solved by reading the Printing-HOWTO.  In Debian, it can be found as

  /usr/doc/HOWTO/Printing-HOWTO.gz

(you have to first install the package doc-linux to get it in place, if you 
haven't done that already).  The HOWTO contains everything you need to setup 
Linux printing, and will allow you to understand every detail.  Certainly, 
that won't eliminate complexity, but at least you'll be able to deal with it 
nicely.

Enjoy,

M. S.
