Perhaps I don't quite understand all the implications of the question,
but the first thing I'd try is 'apt-get install lpr' followed by
'apt-get install apsfilter' which will walk you through an
installation of filters that support a fairly large set of printers.

If you installed Debian you should already have lpr. Try apsfilter if
you want to.
