Thanks for reply.
The feedback I get from cups.general is that the driver that I was using
is actually not the gutenprint's but CUPS'. So I re-installed everything
again, but still I can't see any gutenprint drivers when I get to the
choosing "Model/Driver" step at web setup, all are CUPS', eg:
"EPSON 9pin/24pin ..."
"EPSON Stylus Color Series CUPS v1.2"
"EPSON New Stylus Color Series CUPS v1.2"
Why? What I'm missing?
Here is what's in my system after re-installation:
cupsys_1.2.5-1
cupsys-bsd_1.2.5-1
cupsys-client_1.2.5-1
cupsys-common_1.2.5-1
cupsys-driver-gutenprint_5.0.0-2
foomatic-db_20060822-1
foomatic-db-engine_3.0.2-20060712-1
foomatic-db-gutenprint_5.0.0-2
foomatic-filters_3.0.2-20060712-3
gs-esp_8.15.3.dfsg.1-1
libcupsys2_1.2.5-1
Here is how I did:
aptitude --purge-unused purge foomatic-db-engine foomatic-db-gutenprint foomatic-filters cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-driver-gutenprint cupsys-driver-gimpprint foomatic-db-gimp-print
aptitude install foomatic-db-engine foomatic-db-gutenprint foomatic-filters
aptitude install cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-driver-gutenprint gutenprint-doc
Here are epson gutenprint drivers in my system:

How should I add the correct one? (My printer is Epson Stylus CX1500)
