I recommend installing LPRng then install apsfilter. Follow the instructions for setting up LPRng and then reboot Then use apsfilter to setup your printer. Some printers may need you to also install gutenprint for drivers. You will need to switch from lpd to LPRng in kde. Its an option under each printer. I can't get anything to print from firefox or thunderbird unless I print to a file and open the file with another application to print.
Apsfilter tells you to use lpc reread. This won't be the correct one. You need to use /usr/local/sbin/lpc instead of /usr/sbin/lpc. Same goes for lpq and lprm. You may want to get the command locate working by running /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb After running that, locate will get regular updates and works much faster than find.
