Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

CUPS is up and running (I can get to the administration screens via "localhost:631"), and I can print if I point my FireFox printer setting to "kprinter" (I originally set up the printer in KDE), but I was wondering if there was a different command I could use that wouldn't bring up the kprinter dialog box? Oh, and how would I set up my CUPS printer in XFCE? I'm assuming I would indicate "cups" in the "System Name" in the "Printer Properties" dialog?
Not sure about the second one, but the direct printing command is simply 'lp'. Check out the CUPS documentation (linked via the web admin pages) for all the possible options, for example -d to select from different printers.
why not go straight to the commands. You do not have to change anything in firefox to be able to print. By default it will use the command lpr. lpr is linked to lpr-cups unless you had installed both CUPS and lprng.
Which means you have to relink the lp* bunch from lprng to cups.
