Download the foomatic debs. In case you have synaptic, search for foomatic and install the drivers. Most printers are supported. Some important packages are foomatic-db, foomatic-db-engine, foomatic-gui, foomatic-filters, foomatic-filters-ppds (the last deb is huge, so download only the prebuild ppd for your particular printer).
Configure CUPS (install cupsys- cups server) and install a gui (preferably qtcups or gtklp). You can also access the web-interface with your browser at port 631.
