Seems like Cups is the easiest way to go. It does a good job of finding printer devices -- reporting my officejet (connected via a jetdirect) as Appsocket/JetDirect and as a ptal device. But I've managed to get the printer to work, as a printer and a scanner, by following the CUPS setup. Of course, I'm also using Debian -- testing. That is mostly testing. I've had vaarious combinations of stable, testing and unstable, over time. The only trouble I've had worth mentioning, was during a brief period that the maintainer for mozilla had changed the install script so that using xprint was required.
