Install enscript so you can generate postscript files. Then read the
ijs documentation to figure out what flags to feed it to make produce
output for your printer. You can test this by doing something like:

enscript -p - /etc/motd | gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- [ijs options] > /dev/ulpt0

If things are done right, you should get a copy of /etc/motd on the
printer. After that, you need to set up a filter file and printcap.
