It seems, that you are using Cups. But most Unix-Apps assume that lpr/lp
is running. kprinter is one solution, but only if you are working under
X most of the time. And it's not that optimal if you are using GNOME or
windowmaker for example.
If you are using Debian just type
apt-get install cupsys-bsd
so the BSD commands like lpr/lp will be available an your
cups-based-printing-system.
After all, you can also install
qtcups
or
gtklp
so you don't load all the KDE-stuff, if you are working under
windowmaker/fvwm2/GNOME etc.
You can use them like kprinter.
bye,
Joerg
