If you wanna do it easy, use cups
If You want more challenge, lpadmin is the command

man lpadmin from terminal

Good luck :-)

CUPS is recommended.

Menu-Setup-CUPS Printer Wizard - Add printer

If the Driver for your printer is not already recognized in CUPS you may have to install them via the Install Icon on the desktop.
