Unfortuately there isn't a quick'n'dirty method. If you read through the handbook description of printing, you'll see that it's not too hard: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing.html The bad thing is that it's a non-trivial setup. The good thing is tha once you've done it on one free *nix platform, you've done it on pretty much all of them. Some of my friends use and rave about the CUPS printing system, you may want to check it out. I have no experience with it personally. If I need to print I do it on my Mac :-), but I have set up printers in Linux and BSD before, it's not too bad iff they're supported or at least work as a Postscript printer.
