If you did not search the forum, you might want to try doing this, since there are already many topics on printing. If you do not see the printing topics, in this board, set the "Show Threads" to "last year" and you'll see them all.
Depending on which OS your running, and how you need to print, it can be relatively simple to alittle difficult to setup.
Yes, you can print to ink jet printers.
If your printer is hooked up via a parallel port, you can try printing right now. Turn printer on. open a terminal, and as root or su try the command
ls > /dev/lp0
This may work or may not, if it does work then it should print out a directory listing. Though the quality will not be there, it does work quickly.
If you using GNU/Linux or BSD, then you can use either LPRing or CUPS for your print server.
If your using some other UNIX brand, try searching the man pages for printing help.
man -k printing
