Are you referring to the cupsys-driver-gimpprint package? It's not
installed on either of my machines. Here's a list of packages with
"cups" in them:
un apcupsd <none> (no description available)
ii cupsomatic-ppd 0.20010420-3 cups printer ppd's from LinuxPrinting.org
ii cupsys 1.1.10-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
rc cupsys-bsd 1.1.4-3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD commands
ii cupsys-client 1.1.10-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client programs (SysV)
un cupsys-dev <none> (no description available)
un cupsys-driver-gimppr <none> (no description available)
ii cupsys-pstoraster 1.1.10-4Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - pstoraster
un kdelibs3-cups <none> (no description available)
un libcupsys1 <none> (no description available)
un libcupsys1-dev <none> (no description available)
ii libcupsys2 1.1.10-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs
un qtcups <none> (no description available)
The list looks the same on both machines, except that cupsys-bsd is rc
on one and pn on the other.
The only other thing I noticed is that gnome-print (which is only in
stable and not testing or unstable) is installed on my home machine and
not this one. I tried uninstalling it and print jobs still just sit in
the queue for ever but I don't remember if my printer's on or off so
I'll have to check it when I get a chance :-)
