Under Debian I heard CUPS is the right utility. So i installed Cups and tried to configure it with my printer. The problem is, that Cups only gives me the possibility to connect the printer to a serial port - but my printer is on the paralell port.

The only time I've seen this, the (self-built: my bad) kernel was not
set up properly to use the parallel port for printing. Take a look at
your kernel configuration, especially if you built your own. There are
*3* different settings you need to make to enable this:
PARPORT
PARPORT_PC
PRINTER
Do the appropriate grep on .config.
And do /dev/lp0 and/or /dev/lp1 exist at all?
