Hello Ashely,

The CUPS (Common Unix Print Software) server should be able to use 
Bonjour printers since version 1.3. Try the normal KDE printer 
configuration to install this remote printer. If it does not work as 
expected you probably have to upgrade CUPS via the ports. But I am sorry 
to inform you that I haven't found any documentation about it yet.

Regards,
Florian
