I think you have everything that you need... maybe try
restarting the cups server and trying again;
'/etc/init.d/cupsys restart'.
My suspiscion is that cups was installed and more
importantly, *started*, before the cupsomatic-ppd and
gimprint driver sets were installed (not too surprising as
the latter depend on the former I think).
Give that a try and see what happens. :)
