Cupsys, using gimpprint driver instead of gutenprint



Hi, 

The new cupsys in Etch does not work for me, while the old cupsys in Sarge
works perfectly. After switching to Etch, I've had 3 attempts trying to make
it works, but failed 3 times. (My latest attempt and problem logged at:
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?s3095+gcups.bugs+v3104+T0 )

Suddenly it occurs to me that in Sarge, I am using gimpprint driver, while
now I'm trying the gutenprint driver, and I do know that people are not
using the gutenprint, to avoid the trouble, while looking for answer to my
problems.

Luckily the gimpprint driver set is still in Etch:

 cupsys-driver-gimpprint - printer drivers for CUPS
 foomatic-db-gimp-print - linuxprinting.org printer support - database for Gimp-Print printer drivers
 gimp-print - print plugin for the GIMP
 gimpprint-doc - Users' Guide for Gimp-Print and CUPS
 gimpprint-locales - Locale data files for Gimp-Print
 libgimpprint1 - The Gimp-Print printer driver library

So I removed all foomatic/cupsys related package and re-install the 4th
time. But to my surprise, I see no gimpprint driver, but only the gutenprint
driver that didn't work for me. So here is my question, 

For cupsys in Etch, is it possible to use gimpprint driver instead of
gutenprint?

thanks
