Hello Maury, Read the printing HOWTO at http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/Printing-HOWTO.html
short summary of the steps you would have to take: - install spooling software (lpr or lprng or similar) - if you don't just want to be able to print plain text: install gs - install filter software (magicfilter, apsfilter) - perhaps install some further graphics conversion software (package magicfilter recommends a reasonable set of packages, which include support for printing jpeg, tiff and some other) - setup your /etc/printcap file (magicfilterconfig can do that for you for local printers) - if your printer is attached to the parallel port, make sure the lp-module is available to your kernel.
