There is, it is cups.
the problem is
1) win printers
2) crummy drivers from manufacturers (namely, HP IJS)
3) clunky hacks to deal with non postscript printers
3) depends on the printer but cups provides a nice framework for
dealing with any printer. But I do think foomatic is a mess and many
of them don't really support all the printers features and are
exceedingly slow.
