Skeinforge is the best way of converting stl files to Gcode, as to the rest I use Repsnapper to talk to my printer so can't help there

Download a stl model like this: [www.thingiverse.com] (or make your own with your choice of 3D modelling software).
Run the file through skeinforge.
Open the exported gcode file in pronterface.
Press connect.
Press print.
Adjust settings in skeinforge and goto 2).
