2 is totaly independent of anything else you choose, and should work for
all printing situations. There are two options, one is LPR, which I
have NO clue how to do, I belive it's an old Berkley thing. The one
which I use and would definitly sugest is CUPS, with the GimpPrint
drivers installed if need be. It has a nice web interface for setting
up printers. Go to http://www.cups.org for information on installing,
though if I remember on debian it's just an apt-get install cups and
cups-gimpprint (or something like that).
