1) "apt-cache show" should be replaced by "dpkg -s". Since it's
always installed with cupsys, I think the espgs error is possibly
due to a broken foomatic filter.
2) If you're using CUPS and Gimp-Print, there's no need for
Foomatic--it's just another layer of complexity. Install
cupsys-driver-gimpprint and then add a new print queue as described
in the gimpprint-doc package (user manual). It should Just
Work(tm).

AFAIK they work perfectly; the C82 is very well supported, and has
been for quite some time. I think it's most likely something wrong on
your system. Make sure your system is /completely/ up to date, and if
in doubt, completely purge your CUPS installation and reinstall it
again to ensure it's working correctly--if you've done a lot of
tinkering, you'll start in a known good state.
If you can't get the basic Gimp-Print CUPS driver going as above,
please file a bug report against cupsys-driver-gimpprint.
