Have a look at cups
debs you need are
ii cupsomatic-ppd 0.20010420-4 cups printer ppd's from
LinuxPrinting.org
ii cupsys 1.1.14-3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) -
server
ii cupsys-bsd 1.1.14-3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD
comman
once installed and cups is running connect to http://localhost:631
You should be alright after that.
Also test the printer is listening, telnet 192.168.1.10 9100
type a bit and then hit ctrl L and a page should spit out the printer.
Atleast it does when you use the lp_server jetdirect emulator on a pc.
