Rick already chimed in on how to use apsfilter and company. Now I'll
chime in on CUPS.
# apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client
This will get CUPS up and running. Now using your web browser go to
http://localhost:631/printers and add a printer.
You may need to customize /etc/cups/cupsd.conf if you want multiple CUPS
installations over the network to talk, by allowing browsing, or if you
want it to modify /etc/printcap instead of /etc/printcap.cups. Printing
from your GNU/Linux apps should be easy after that. My OpenOffice.org
even allows me to pick exactly which printer to use (since we have two
machines each with CUPS installed hosting a printer each).
For command line queue management read the manual pages of lpq(1) and
lprm(1).
