Basicly You need a application which makes a .ps file in to a file Your 
printer understands. I use gs for that.
The printing works as follows (so far I understood):
The application makes a .ps file.
The .ps file is converted into the printer-specific format.
This file is sent to the printer.

In my system lpr handles the conversion (is named filter there) and the 
temporary storage of the files in the queue.
