Well, install the gimpprint driver for CUPS. In Debian
just go to dselect, select cupsys-driver-gimpprint and you
should get cups and all in there. Make sure to install
docs [cupsys-driver-gimpprint] and read them. They might
help...
If you are new to Debian, [sounds like it :-], it might
take you a while to set up the printer correctly. It
_will_ help if you install and read the docs.
Hope this helps,
Adam
PS. In dsleect, in select window, just hit / to search for
packages. Just like in vi.
