Aptitude is becoming preferred to apt-get, but may not be installed if
you are running Woody. Install it as root:

$ su
# apt-get install aptitude

# aptitude update 
should now work, updating the list of packages available. This command
replaces apt-get update.

Now you can use aptitude install instead of apt-get install.

see
$ man aptitude 
for more details

# aptitude install cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client foomatic-bin samba \
    smbclient gs-esp a2ps

The above should now also work.
