I have tested QuickScript on my old non-networked PS LaserJet (with a Bluetooth module), but haven't yet managed to get a connection right. I have a colour LaserJet with Ethernet AP, but it's been mothballed, so testing that won't be easy.

Penguinbait ported Cups to his KDE port, so maybe you could try that?
I am used to using ps2pdf on my linux desktop to convert from postscript to pdf, but I noticed that there is also a program on the NIT called pdf2ps, so I will try that. If I can convert a pdf into a postscript, then at least I could print some files other than just text files.
