Easy way: install apsfilter or magicfilter.  I don't know about magicfilter,
since I don't use it, but when you install apsfilter, it will run a
configuration program, which should be easy to understand -- just select the
right driver and port, and you should be ready to print.  You may need to
restart the lpr/lprng daemon (for lprng, run "/etc/init.d/lprng restart" as
root).
