I tend to believe that this is a bug in the cups or foomatic packages
that were in Debian/unstable at that time. It will probably be
fixed/obsoleted by Knoppix 5.1, where the web frontend should also
contain the FULL printer list.

SOME printers still seem to work (well, those we tested with,
apparently, therefore the error went unnoticed. :-( )

Try live updating cupsys, foomatic and gutenprint from Debian/unstable.
