Hi Rogerio Well now you've got me intrigued ;) Although I've been using CUPS as a matter of course, I can't say the quality of print is particularly high; I haven't messed around much with the configuration but tried higher res etc. When, I find some time I shall investigate lprng and magicfilter. I found this: http://www.la.utexas.edu/lab/software/sys/lprng-howto/LPRng-HOWTO.html Is this a good starting place?
