Yes, you need a printer spooler. I use cups, see also 
/usr/local/share/doc/hpoj/setup-print.html for documentation.

I mostly print from KDE, but from the console you can simply use 
/usr/local/bin/lpr MYFILE (that is the lpr that comes with cups, not 
the one that comes with the base system). Scanning also works well.

HTH,
