If you install hpoj there's a ptal-cups daemon. ptal-init is the startup
script and does not currently work with our new init system. I have an
init.d script that at least loads. I'll enter a bug about it
<http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4447>.

Have a look at the Setting up a print queue (CUPS-specific) section of
<http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/hpoj-0.90/doc/setup-print.html>
