You have to select it in the sound control panel (Sound Output).

MOL does not support direct USB access.

Good. This means that you can export it as a network printer
to MOL. What you should do is editing /etc/hosts.lpd to add
the IP address of MOL. Now MOL should be able to print the
linux lpd queue (you have to use the PrintTool to create
the desktop printer).
However, I just tried this and I a mysterious error. Instead,
I used netatalk (papd) to export the lpd queue as an AppleTalk
printer (and this worked nicely). The configuration is not
complicated - just add something like
LinuxQueue:\
:pr=lp
to /etc/atalk/papd.conf. This ought to work if you are connected to
a local ethernet network and have AppleTalk up running (netatalk
is probably already configured correctly).
If you are not connected to a network, then you have to compile
ethertap with AppleTalk support and use that (although it is
possible to use eth0 without an beeing connected to a network, this
is not a good idea since there will be all kinds of problem
when the transmit buffer fills up).
Cheers,
