With a recent crystal build (or any other distro) all you need is to enable the cups printer server (e.g. via stone) and add a new printer with e.g. the KDE printer manager or the web administration interface built into cups.

It's age-old, and not supported anymore.

I just checked on one PC running a crystal build which is about as old as ROCK 3, and printing in KDE (3.5.3) works without any symlinks to *_cups binaries. The printer is a Canon BJC 6200 and is known to cups, so to set it up I just had to start the cups server as an init script (which comes with ROCK), and add the printer via the KDE control center.
