The package hpijs is already installed.
Cups packages installed: cupsys(1.1.14-5), cupsys-bsd(1.1.14-5), 
cupsys-client(1.1.14-5), cupsys-pstoraster(1.1.14-5), qtcups(2.0-4), hpijs 
(1.3.1-1.1), a2ps(4.13b-16), apsfilter(7.2.2-3), gcc(3.3), glibc(didn't 
find).

The ppd file mentioned "foomatic-rip". When I searched the packages with apt 
I've found foomatic-bin, but it won't install because of some unmet 
dependencies (in such cases I usually install packages from unstable).

I'm using stable with some packages from unstable.

C YA and thank you so far,
Jernej Zidar
