What's really weird is that I don't see your printer or mine (Epson 
Stylus C82) on the list of drivers using gnome-cups-manager or the cups 
web interface.  I do see both the Canon iP4000 and the Stylus C82 using 
the foomatic-gui.  Here are the foomatic packages on my system:

[07:48][jose@sweety:~]$ dpkg -l | grep -i fooma | cut -d' ' -f 3
foomatic-db
foomatic-db-engine
foomatic-db-gutenprint
foomatic-db-hpijs
foomatic-filters
foomatic-filters-ppds
foomatic-gui
python-foomatic
