The standard CUPS software distribution includes most of the software necessary to support printing. If you have PostScript printers you'll need to PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") files that came with your printer.
If you have non-PostScript printers and are not running Mac OS X, you will need the GPL Ghostscript software (available from ghostscript.com). You can use the (included) sample drivers for HP, EPSON, OKIDATA, DYMO, Intellitech, and Zebra printers, or use any of the many free and commercial drivers for CUPS that are listed on the links page.
