In case this might help, here's a list of the gutenprint packages 
installed on my sid system:

[07:48][jose@sweety:~]$ dpkg -l | grep -i guten | cut -d' ' -f 3
cupsys-driver-gutenprint
foomatic-db-gutenprint
ijsgutenprint
libgutenprint2
libgutenprintui2-1

Also, by reading the package description, I found that if you want to  
be able to select your printer from the web interface of CUPS, you'll 
probably want to have the 'foomatic-filters-ppds' package installed.  HTH.
