G'day Eamon,
I got my deskjet to work using the localhost:631 setup stuff, if it's broken
in your install, try the version from Testing, it worked OK for me when you
add a printer one of the fields you prompted to fill is location, put the path
to the driver, for the deskjet it shoud be, /usr/share/cups/model/deskjet.ppd
there and the rest should be a piece of cake
Cheers
Joel
