Hi. 

CUPS installs a binary of lpr that prints to CUPS printers, so I do it
like this: In Opera, go to "File -> Print", then the "Printer Program"
tab.

Printer Program: /usr/local/bin/lpr
Parameter: -PYour_Printer_Name_Here

You can find your printer name in /etc/printcap.

This way is often much slower to start printing than with other apps,
but it works.
