First, make sure that the httpd daemon is running, then,

Point your favorite browser at http://localhost:631

And follow the
links and directions there to add/remove/reconfigure
your printer(s)

The reason for the pluraility is that you can define a single
printer as many, each with a different operating profile in re
resolution, color, greyscale, paper  type, etc, etc.

Make them lp0, lp1, lp2, etc, and set the one defined for fast,
low/medium resolution color as the default system printer, and all
other apps will use that profile by default, but most can chose
another if you want to wander around in the apps printing gui and
change it on a per print job basis.
