I don't think there is a big, buggy, bloated, complicated, 
do everything badly config program for debian. You could 
install linuxconf I guess, but you might get teased a bit :)

I'm not a big fan of linuxconf, in case you're wondering :)

I've been a debian user by night for years, recently a redhat user
by day and I have the same problem as you have, but with redhat.

As for print filters, there may be more, but printtool, apsfilter and 
magicfilter. Try these commands:
apt-cache search printer
apt-cache search print.*filter
apt-cache show printtool
etc

Well thats one way of doing it, I don't think it will work very well
though, you'll need more that just a printcap won't you?

vi :)

Actually, debian does have its fair share of config tools.
