Since you're not mentioning having tried something already, this might
give you a start:

After installing cups, you'll find in /usr/local/etc/rc.d a file called
cups.sh.sample. If you want cups to automatically start at each boot,
copy this to cups.sh. Then you either can reboot your system, or do as
root "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh start".

In your webbrowser, you can now go to  http://localhost:631/.
Enter 'root' as username and the root password.
Then you get into the CUPS administration pages to add your
printer.
