I have the Linux drivers "that work" already downloaded.

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.
