get the 'cupsys', 'cupsys-client', 'cupsys-bsd',
'cupsys-driver-gimpprint', 'cupsomatic-ppd', and 'cupsys-pstoraster'
pacakges. (I think at least some of them aren't in potato) The CUPS
printing system is very nice and easy to use. Just point your web
browser to http://localhost:631/ and you can add a printer with
point-n-click. Of the packages I listed, one is the daemon, two are
the client tools (lp and lpr and friends; one is SysV the other is
BSD), and three contain "drivers". With those three package you'll
have filters for many different printers.

What is your desktop? If you have none, just edit ~/.xsession
appropriately. If you're using GNOME use the Control Center

Nope. It is/was not "free".

Either get Adrian Bunk's packages
or
upgrade 'modutils' and whatever else is required and build your own.
google is bound to turn up some F{ine}M's to R.
(I recommend moving to woody or sid if you want a 2.4 kernel or if you
want KDE or GNOME or anything else that is recent (like CUPS). potato
is called "stable" but it is old; the newer stuff is newer)
