Just run system-config-printer and  follow the new printer wizard.  You 
basically need to know the manufacturer and model.  With that you can select 
the proper PPD file.  

The other thing you need to know is HOW the printer is going to be connected 
to the machine.  In other words, its backend (CUPS-wise).  If you get this 
right (correct PPD and correct backend) you're all done.

HTH,
Jorge
