I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Gentoo Printing Guide yet.  It
worked perfectly last time I used it, tho I don't have a printer ATM so
will eventually have another chance to test it. =8^)

As far as further configuration, I use KDE, and once I told it I was using
cups and made sure cups was running, it was actually quite easy to let
the KDE printing config stuff do the rest.  All told, it was /much/ easier
than I had expected, particularly given the horror stories I've read over
the years.
