Install (at least) these packages:
cupsys
cupsys-bsd
cupsys-client
cups-pdf
gs-esp
xprt-xprintorg
xprt
xprt-common
I needed them to use cups printers with mozilla and other apps.
Considering config I found a program under gnome and kde wich did this
easily (its some work if you don't use these WM as default, but it
works.)
Good luck, Vegard
