There used to be a time that, if you simply sent textual output in ASCII format out the parallel port, finished by a 'form feed' ASCII character, the printer would just spit out your output. But they don't sell printers with parallel ports anymore these days, do they? If they did, a simple USB-to-parallel cable with a chip from FTDI surely would be supported by the kernel.
Maybe a simple laser printer would still do. Otherwise, you'll have to port CUPS or whatever printing subsystem is popular on Linux.
