Aah. printers and Linux :)

You should read the printing howto for a start.

There are several packages for printing avaliable in Debian
I prefer cupsys, cupsys-client and  cupsys-driver-gimpprint
which give v. good print out on my el-cheepo HP-DeskJet,

other packages include (lpr | lprng) with (magicfilter | apsfilter)
which I can't comment on but have also recieved praise from different
users

Cheers
