afraid i won't be much help -- i've not used any printing
resources, at all, period, zero, on debian. ever. since the dawn
of time. ever. ever.
i know the mac upside and down, and i'm reasonably comfy with
much of the debian universe (maybe not most, but much). part of
what's not in my debian comfort zone, is printing.
i do, however, have a suggestion -- ask the folks at debian-user
(i've forwarded this to the list via CC:) and see what crops up.
there's a much better chance you'll get a hit there.

:
Wondering how to SELECT YOUR DEFAULT TEXT EDITOR? You can set
your prefered editor with:
update-alternatives --config editor
Also it helps to set your EDITOR environment variable:
export EDITOR=`which vim`
