If the printer "talks" postscript, you just feed it a postscript file.
So the most simple setup is to have a PS printer with an ethernet port.
Just add something like this to your /etc/printcap and start lpd:
lp:\
:sd=/some/spool/folder/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=10.11.12.13:\
:rp=lp:
If you want to do fancy things, look at the a2ps package. But otherwise
you don't need any "special" software.
Oh, and don't forget to update your firmware [1].
kind regards,
Robert
